This blog is a diary of visual research.

An archive of ‘undisciplined’ meandering.

Glimpses of contemplation, musing, reading, wandering, collecting & gathering. Drawing in silence & sound, light & dark. Deep within this rumination is an honest account of the evolution behind creating, discovering, and traveling down the twisted life path of an artist.

Solastalgia

I have been wandering through a rain-soaked landscape that still smells of fire and black — a forest burnt beyond recognition. A sense of solastalgia as I walk as softly as possible. I feel like this land can’t take much more, not even the footsteps of a single human walking. And yet there is also a sense of hope (faint) — an immense feeling of wonder for the trees that are defiantly coming back to life. The red of new growth appears illuminated against the grey storms and burnt black land.
