Youth

Piece description from the artist

A lone young fir clings to the slope, rising from a sheer granite face into the hush of mountain mist. Drawn from a foggy hike to a high ridge, this image captures resilience in unlikely places. The tree, bowed yet growing, appears to kneel—a gesture that suggests both struggle and reverence. The atmosphere is soft, almost dreamlike, inviting quiet reflection. Though rich with metaphor, the drawing offers its meanings slowly, like lessons that unfold over time. With its vertical composition and emotional depth, this piece brings a quiet strength to any space.
