Once Upon a Forest- A Twig Poets Rewilding Journey

#Rewilding #NatureHealing #ShortDocumentary
When a climate crisis strikes her beloved forest, artist Maria Westerberg must reinvent both her art and herself.

As a child, Maria struggled to fit into a conventional life. But the forest—with its gnarled twigs and quiet strength—offered her a path to healing and purpose. Now known as Sweden’s “twig poet,” she transforms nature’s remnants into powerful sculptures and poetry.

This intimate short film follows Maria’s emotional journey as she confronts ecological loss, rewilds her creative process, and deepens her bond with the land that once saved her.

A story of healing, resistance, and wild inspiration.
