Footprint of the Forest

Description

A bear moves across the rocky lower ledge while a vast paw shape opens above, filled with forest silhouettes and distant woodland scenes. Animal and habitat become one living story. The paw is not merely a track; it is a window into everything that makes the bear’s presence possible—trees, shelter, distance, and the quiet systems of the woods. The mark asks us to notice more than the fact that a bear passed through. It asks what must remain for the animal to return. A footprint becomes evidence of an encounter, but also of the larger world that encounter depends upon.
