The Lack of Forest by Martyna Miller

The Lack of Forest by Martyna Miller is a moving reflection on life in a landscape transformed by ecological disaster. The book is set in the Tuchola Forest region in Poland, where a violent storm in 2017 destroyed vast areas of woodland and deeply affected local communities. Over several years, the author lived and worked in this environment, observing how both nature and people adapt to loss. The project combines personal experience, field research, and conversations with residents who witnessed the destruction.

The book was designed by Zofka Kofta, who uses the typeface Softcore by Tekio Typefoundry on the cover and throughout the interior. It was published by Pamoja Press in Polish – as Brak Lasu – and English editions. The latter was translated by Weronika Zalewska.
