Winter Oak, Standing Material:Dye Infused Aluminium What makes this scene rareThis black and white study centers on a mature oak standing alone in winter, its twisting branches spreading outward in every direction.

The light filtering through the canopy emphasizes form over season, echoing the quiet strength and endurance of an old landscape shaped slowly and without urgency.
