An explosion of fresh green energy unfolds in this abstract composition, in which the natural shapes of leaves seem to be distorted into an intriguing visual dance. The lines, thin and white like veins or threads of light, curl and meander towards the centre, where the image seems to contract in a vortex of movement and depth. The texture of the leaf surface remains subtly visible, with tiny glints of light betraying the organic origins of the image. This digital transformation of a natural object evokes a sense of wonder: where does the leaf end and the imagination begin?
The work invites you to look as well as get lost. What appears at first sight to be a simple leaf turns into a lively network of connections, as if nature reveals its inner structure. The image simultaneously breathes tranquillity and dynamism - like a snapshot of growth, transformation or even communication between living organisms.
