Stillness Among the Trees

Rise

This collection grew from a single tree The Angel Oak. That one tree started it all. From there, it led me to the towering sequoias, those monstrous giants, then to the stillness of bamboo and the elegance of the palm trees.

And to me, each of these trees shares the same truth: growth always reaches for the light.

In these images, you see that upward journey. Every tree pushes out of the dark soil, or whatever conditions it was given, and stretches toward something brighter. That’s the story I wanted to capture. Growth, strength, and the quiet determination it takes to rise.
