In a quiet woodland clearing, a girl lies entwined with gnarled roots, her form merging with the earth. The scene captures a profound connection between humanity and nature, evoking stillness and introspection. Soft light filters through the trees, highlighting the textures of bark and fabric, while her closed eyes suggest deep repose. This is not just a portrait—it’s a meditation on belonging, where the boundaries between person and landscape dissolve. Irina Dzhul’s vision transforms the ordinary into the poetic, inviting viewers to pause and breathe with the forest.
