In the forest there is a bark, worn away by mushrooms. Next to it, a small hydrangea shakes its purple petals, while down below, algae grow as thick as deer antlers while crushing the bloody soil. Further on, in the glade, the sky is turquoise. An apricot tree drops its ripe fruit, as sweet as the nectar of the blossoms (a lily, a prickly pear) that soar upwards. Even the jellyfish, split into pieces, floats in the water like a flower. It is the shadow of a visible and imaginary forest.
