Expressive trees that seem to be caught at the top end of a dramatic kowtow are contrasted by their straight-laced cousins standing rigid and stalwart over the scene.

This one treads the in-between world of light and darkness, conformity and uniqueness - life and death. 1 of 1. Spring 2022. Titled and signed on back.
