In the distance is the shape of a tree, rising in the middle of a clearing, surrounded by large deciduous trees. Its silhouette evokes that of the willow, with a curved appearance like the shoulders of an elderly person, but also with a robust, proud, solid body. Naked and golden, its branches already give clues to its magic, stretching out as if to touch the earth, to rest on it or return to it, to become roots again.
