This is a black and white photograph captured in a Korean forest during a winter snowfall. The frame is filled with gnarled, twisted branches that heavily intertwine, creating the sensation of entering a labyrinth deep within the woods. The textures of the thick, rough tree trunks blend with the mysterious depth evoked by the background mist, leading the viewer into an ancient space that is both fantastical and somber.
