Here the forest that resembles the real is unreal, and we are caught, as in our everyday lives, in the lure of the digital where fake becomes real. We cannot distinguish the ‘true’ forest as we are trapped within and without the screen, a screen in which we can no longer differentiate the digital milieu.
