A collection of tree portraits inspired by the East Asian Sumi-e ink painting tradition.

Trees

The ink wash paintings of East Asia consider the void to be as essential to the image as the subject. The sophisticated simplicity of Sumi-e traditions aim to intuitively capture the essence, or spirit of the trees, rather than acting as a representational photograph.
