Dear Tree • Sequoia I

Description
This series comes from my first time standing under sequoia trees.
Instead of painting the whole tree, I focused on the base —
the part that touches the ground.
It felt quiet, but also very strong.
Across these paintings, I kept returning to this place,
thinking about body, nature, and time.
