Echoes of the Mirror Forest

An expansive forest scene painted in oil with rich, visible brushstrokes and heavy impasto, as if aged canvas glistening with varnish. The forest is dense with towering pines and moss-covered trunks, soft ferns at the roots, and warm golden light filtering through a partly cloudy sky, casting coppery highlights on leaves. Yet the scene also exists in a mirror dimension: a translucent, fracture-like plane runs through the air, splitting the forest into a parallel, slightly inverted world. In the mirror, trees tilt differently, rivers flow uphill, and the sky shifts from amber to cool violet; reflections reveal hidden paths, luminescent fungi, and faint silhouettes of beings from another realm. The border between worlds is marked by shards of glass-like mirror that appear within the canvas, slightly warping reality as if the painting itself contains a doorway to another dimension. The mood is contemplative, eerie, and dreamlike, inviting the viewer to step into a liminal forest where two dimensions share the same roots.
