As Within So Without 3 (Tree of Life and Leaf)

This work stages a quiet metamorphosis where two leaf-like planes become a split landscape—one warmed by earthen reds and emergent greens, the other sinking into nocturnal blues punctured by a small, insistent moon. The central tree, rooted across the seam, reads as a living hinge that binds opposing climates of feeling: abundance and decay, daylight memory and night’s introspection. Speckled constellations and vein-like tracery turn the surface into a cartography of time, suggesting that growth is never singular but layered—an ecology of marks where the visible world and the inner one overlap.
