I am the evergreen with fading needles roots deep in sandy soils slightly burned from ancient fires a home to only the survivors

Tenille K. Campbell, I am not a wild strawberry

Ancient fires.

I painted this with mijello watercolors and black ink. And I enhaced some details digitally.

This was inspired by our school trip to Utö (Finland). We travelled to Utö Island on the last weekend of August. It is a tradition that ancient fires honors and remembers those who drowned and disappeared at sea.

I wanted to include milkyway to my watercolor painting, because it was the first time I saw it widely, in Utö. There were no light noise, and it was beautiful! <3
