    Thin Layer Of Life (2026)

    (I love scenes like this, exposing just how thin and fragile this carpet of life is in the high mountains, considering the ages/centuries, the obstacles it took to overcome and the relationships needing to form for this varied life to get and retain its temporary foothold here... It's inspiring and very symbolic to me)

    A high alpine landscape showing a small plateau of rocks overgrown with mosses, small bushes and some isolated larch trees, all in beautifully rich autumn colors. The dense carpet of tundra life is interrupted by erosion and cliffs in the foreground, exposing just how thin and fragile that layer of top soil and vegetation actually is. Talus fields and bare rock higher up in the hazy background.
