Gullichsen often depicts the challenges of the human mind through nature. The naked human body in the middle of the forest looks natural and strange: soft skin against hard rock. He is interested in the contradiction between man and nature, Gullichsen tries to find a perfect harmony between himself and the raw forest environment. The Finnish archipelago is a neverending source of inspiration for him, and most of his work he created in the Porvoo archipelago.
