This artwork celebrates the interconnected life of oak forests through an elegant mandala design. At the center lies a sun-like formation from which oak leaves and acorns radiate outward in a perfect symmetry, representing the life-giving energy at the heart of this ecosystem.
Surrounding this central motif are various mushrooms that share a vital relationship with oak trees: porcini mushrooms with their distinctive caps, delicate black trumpet mushrooms, and the clustered maitake mushroom which aids in decomposition and renewal. These fungi are depicted in their natural roles – some living in symbiosis with the oak, others as essential decomposers that complete the forest’s life cycle.
The entire composition is framed by intricate mycelia networks, showing the hidden connections beneath the forest floor. In each corner, the four main phases of the moon mark the passage of time and seasonal changes. Subtle water elements weave throughout, acknowledging the crucial role of moisture in sustaining this delicate ecosystem.
