Rise and Shine

In this deeply layered composition, I capture an emotional unrest — a time marked by inner chaos, fragmentation, and the painful tension between growth and obstruction.

Textures collide and break open, revealing the image of a tree striving to rise — only to be severed by an invisible vertical force grounding back down.

The greenish tones that try to rise — they feel like force and hope but they clash with hard horizontal and vertical interruptions — like mental or emotional walls.
