Her eyes, so full of stories,
reflect the golden light of the evening.
She watches the roots lengthen,
like memories stretching out,
and touching every part of her soul, gently

"In the Clearing" is a personal book cover project inspired by the serenity and poetic solitude of a young woman living alone in the mountains. This illustration captures the beauty of nature and the tranquility of an isolated life, surrounded by an atmosphere of introspection.

The idea behind this project arose from a deep admiration for nature and the power of solitude. The young character is a representation of the strength and peace that can be found by living in harmony with the natural environment. The scene conveys a sense of freedom and connection with the earth, reflecting a simple and contemplative life.
In the clearing,
where the night filters through,
The branches hang like curtains from a distant past
Peace here, under the willow,
acceptance of what was and what will be...
I remember the words you said,
echoes linger in my head.
We're finding our place, our truth...
under the willow, in the clearing of the night...
Thanks for watching
