In Hiraeth – a Welsh word signifying a profound longing for home—Hiraeth offers a glimpse into an off-grid community deeply connected to the Welsh land. Aaron ventured into the forest, documenting the personal environments of a small community. Their home is nestled in an enchanting woodland. The inhabitants of this ancient forest have become inseparable from their landscape. This image is of the most ancient tree in the forest.
