Inspired by a tree I saw while visiting Scotland. Alder Lind — his name chosen to evoke the peace and wisdom of age — along with his ever-admiring companion. They came to life from ink and alcohol marker. This piece is especially meaningful to me, being that it’s the first time I constructed a face on a subject like this, blending the natural contours of bark and branch with human expression. The result is a quiet, watchful presence that feels rooted in memory and place.
