Photo Respiration Trees Shirakami #9

A black-and-white forest scene centers on a single large tree trunk rising from a base tangled with roots, fallen leaves, and undergrowth, surrounded by surrounding trees and foliage. Scattered around the trunk's base and lower reaches are dozens of small bright points of light, some solitary and some clustered in tight groups, standing out sharply against the grey tones of bark, leaves, and hazy sky. *Photo Respiration Trees Shirakami #9*, an archival pigment print by Tokihiro Sato, 2008.
