Abstract of Twisted Trunk on Volcanic Boulder

The Tateshina-Genseirin Primeval Forest is home to ancient trees that twist and curve around volcanic boulders, forming surreal, natural sculptures. Wrapped in thick bark and moss, these trees create shapes only possible in an untouched forest, free from human interference. In this close-up shot, I removed the broader context to focus on the intricate contrast of textures, from the weathered wood to the moss-covered stone, highlighting the interplay of colors and the calming, yet rugged mood of the scene.
