This rotten giant tree has been washed by the sea and is now half covered in sand. The Milky Way flows above it, twinkling like a mirror reflecting the memories of time. Though detached from the earth, the tree still lives in a great cycle, connecting the stars and the tides. I believe there is a quiet beauty in this, not destruction, but restoration and connection.
