Rooted Occlusion

Exposed roots, slick with wet clay after the tree's fall, interweave across the forest floor—a dense, nearly unbroken network. Individual strands curve and merge, their paths shaped by unseen pressures within the earth and the histories of growth already established. Each root’s expansion isn’t a solitary act but a negotiation between internal force and external resistance, revealing how form arises from constraint. These connections trace a complex web where beginnings blur into continuities, held fast in the cool darkness; a single structure embodies multiple origins, shifting with scale.
