Image description

The image shows a tree, with a thick, long trunk at the bottom, which holds the large crown of leafy branches at the top.

The simplest observation of the succession of the four seasons is perceived through the evolution of the trees. The circle of a tree’s life begins in spring, when it is reborn, comes to life again, wakes up, and ends in winter, when it dries and freezes or is covered with snow.

In autumn the tree is presented as follows: Once the leaves have lost their chlorophyll, the substance that gives them life, through which they feed, in the presence of light and heat of the Sun, the leaves can no longer feed through this process called photosynthesis and then die. That is, they become more fragile, softer, and over time they lose all their minerals and dry out. They become stiff, rigid and no longer cling to the branch of the tree and fall.

In the image, the tree is shown embossed, with an elongated trunk but in which the branches also appear. The trunk parts or branches in several segments, as it climbs higher, towards the crown. Now only a few of the leaves left in it can be touched, most of them lying on the ground. They form a carpet of fallen leaves. Dry and fallen leaves crack when we step on them or sound like a rustle when blown away by the wind.

The leaves are illustrated by small shapes like drops with arched tips, marked embossed.

The ground at the base of the tree is highlighted by the texture of oblique and parallel lines.
