I wanted to make an image of life with intense colour, and intense shadow and beauty. I used flourescent colours in the background (which look much brighter in real life,) and in the foreground did the deep shadow of a stylised curvaceous tree using spirals and leaves in circles. Beauty can come out of darkness, even when it seems impossible when you’re in it.
