Additional Information
Inspiration : 2 trees have been standing together forever, now one of them is dying. Slowly leaning, eventually falling. The other one is trying to grab the falling one, but it is evidently too late. They have been standing together and now death will depart them. Red plants represent blood, the background is dark and mysterious. It is like before a storm when clouds gather above... to visualize the emotion of loosing your lifetime partner.

Additional Information
Inspiration : When I explore nature, the scene that continually grabs me is one of a tree that has endured a trauma that threatens its existence, yet continues to finds a way to survive. In many cases the tree is partially uprooted, left with only one “foot” on the ground. A tree like this one, is the hero of this story. The tree defies gravity thanks to the stubborn roots dug into a seemingly insecure sandy substrate. Large parts of the root structure are suspended in air adding to the tension. There is air between the weight of the stump and the ground. The tree also serves as a picture frame to the rest of the story where fallen serpentine tree branches in the background provide a beautiful contrast to stubbornly resolute hero of this story. While the tree is the hero, the real story is its resilience and determination to continue reaching toward the light with all of its might. \| Lighting Duration : 8 Hours
