Title: Requiem for an Old Tree (2014).
Materials and Techniques: Printed cotton. Printed photograph.
Size: 138 x 115 cm.
Comment [1]: For many years I captured an old lime tree through the lense of my camera as it paid its debt to nature. However, as it grew older and more dilapidated, nature gave it the gift of rebirth by sprouting a young tree next to it.
