My Heart is a Dark Forest

Introducing my first collection of visual poetry, a journey that began over a decade ago. These photographs emerged from a deeply personal exploration that initially visualized the pain of a lost love, moving through waves of grief, anger and despair before finally reaching acceptance. They stand as silent testimonies to the healing process of my heart. Over time, the original collection evolved to include a new element: the desire to find a sense of belonging and the inner peace and tranquility that accompany that feeling. Each image strives to gently remind us of the beauty of our own fragility. The beauty that lies in all our emotions. The beauty of life and all its facets.

Jessica Prautzsch

Jessica was born and raised in Hamburg, Germany. With a bachelor's degree in Communications Design (2011), her career as a freelance brand designer and photographer is distinguished by a unique blend of artistic disciplines, which she aptly describes as being a 'creative alchemist.' At the heart of her work is her own remote design studio.

"I like to refer to my style of photography as “visual poetry” because most photographs can be viewed as if reading a poem and evoke similar feelings. Common themes include beauty (as in the Japanese concept of Wabi Sabi), tranquility, thoughtfulness and connection to oneself and nature."
