Dead tree trunks fascinate me. Because they aren't really dead. Where a tree dies, something new arises. Ivy, mosses, and vines take over.
A quiet farewell merges with new growth and life.

During a Sunday walk through the Cologne city forest with my dear friend, this tree practically beamed at us with its vibrancy, so that it immediately had to be captured.
"Still Ascent" is a symbiosis of dense tendrils and mosses that quietly strive upwards along the strong trunk.

Fine ink lines form trunks, ivy and light openings, capturing the tranquility of the forest in reduced, minimalist black and white compositions.
Organic texture in modern, elegant simplicity.
