Description
The world tree broken at its crown — a person stands beside it, small as the message that must be carried on. A huge smooth trunk with a snapped, glowing top rises from a dark rise; beside it stands a small figure in a white and black coat, facing the viewer. The sky is layered, from black through greens to warm yellow; before the rise spreads a tangle of shadows and protruding stakes.
