Deep in the Forest - looking for the inner self The image/portrait was taken in the Bavarian National Park a huge and wide protected forest area. The person (Alois) on the image had some questions and trouble to find himself in the past - late coming out (living in an rural area next to the Czech border - living as gay person in a small village among very conservative/traditional thinking people - self acceptance, weight loss of more than 100kg in 2 years - acceptance of his new body (but also being an individual with a look that gives you a shield of strength)
