Where there is vegetation, there is life.
The veil folds as it emerges from its stump, becoming a force of life. Twigs emerge in silence, leaves unfurl, stems intertwine and merge to unleash their strength and energy. They tear themselves away from their decaying base to bring forth what will be renewal. Human remains will turn to dust. This regeneration is a magnificent testament to life. A primal life force and evidence of a world that transforms and fits into the natural order of living things… drawing to transform, nourishing to become something else, within a cosmic order that touches upon the essential and the supernatural.
