The series is inspired by a special part of Eve's childhood − the delicate vegetation and fauna she discovered at the edge of the forest.
"I found small frogs and berries, while hares darted in the dappled shade. Dark and deep, the forest was a secret world, too forbidding for a lone child. But the sous-bois had its own mysteries, the surprise hazelnuts and wild strawberries, the buttercups and tiny mosses, and the wonder that such a complete world could exist between the forest and the road.
It taught me to look at nature's minutest details, the coil of a stem, the camber of a leaf, a drop of dew; this is the enchantment I hope to translate for you." -Eve
