Forest Signs #7 — Original Sensory Alchemy Mixed Media Forest on Paper, 21×29.7 cm What if a tree had a name — its own, not the one we gave it? This is a sign. A name. A first attempt to write in a language that has no alphabet — only ink, brush, and attention.
The Myth What if trees have names? Their own names. The ones they would use to call each other. I spent time in forests, not as a tourist. I sat. I watched. One tree, then another. The rhythm of its branches. The map of its bark. The way it holds itself against the wind. Then I tried to write down what I heard — Signs. Abstract symbols, each one unique, like a name in a language no one speaks anymore. It's an attempt to restore a lost dialogue. Old shamans believed that to name something is to make contact. I think they were right. Each sheet is ink on paper. Simple. Almost scientific. But inside that simplicity — hours of looking, listening, breathing with a single tree. This series is a vocabulary for the non-human world. Nine graphic portraits of real trees — their abstract names, drawn with ink and brush. For those who have ever stood in a forest and felt watched — by the trees themselves. For those who suspect that nature is far more alive than we admit. This is for you.
