From my garden, I have a beautiful view of my neighbours' large beech tree. This imposing tree has been through a lot and is now a real eye-catcher. Once there were three of these majestic beeches in their garden, but on 18 June 2021 fate struck. A fall wind raced across Leersum and felled two of the three trees. Only this one beech remained standing proudly, as a silent witness to that violent storm.
I could not resist capturing this tree. I took a photo from my garden, looking up at the impressive branches reaching into the sky like a crown. Then I crawled behind my computer to transform the photo into a digital artwork. I wanted to show not only the strength and grandeur of the beech, but also the history and resilience it symbolises.
The end result is an artwork that for me is more than just a picture of a tree. It tells a story about forces of nature, loss and perseverance. Every time I look at the big beech tree, I am reminded how impressive and powerful nature is - and how grateful I am that this tree is still there.
