"Fall, in Love"
I created this piece when the weather started to cool down, inspired by the beginning of Fall. The tree, with its bare trunk and branches, is a strong anchor within the scene, creating a sense of solitude and quiet contemplation. Surrounding its base with vibrant heart-shaped autumn leaves injects a lively warmth that contrasts the starkness of the tree. The two figures on the walking path emphasizes the human scale within a vast natural world, a reminder of our place in the environment.
