Sometimes the most powerful landscapes aren’t wide horizons but the quiet details right underfoot. This piece draws in close to the base of an old tree, its bark rough with age and patterned with moss and lichen. Morning light catches the greens, silvers, and earthy browns, making the textures come alive. Behind it, the forest opens into bare trees and soft ground, a reminder of the larger world this giant belongs to.
There’s a certain intimacy in standing this close, noticing what most of us step over on our way to the view. Lichen the Moss is about slowing down long enough to see the small conversations of color and texture, the way light makes even a weathered trunk shimmer with life. It’s the story of a forest told from the ground up.
