The Story
Winter, reimagined
Winter has long been mistaken for an ending, a season when the world goes still beneath a blanket of snow. But beneath that frozen surface, nature is anything but dormant. Fresh snow insulates the earth below, protecting a hidden world where roots endure, microbial life remains active and life continues its unseen work. What looks like an ending is, in fact, full of beginnings.
