Inspired by the Finnish folklore of Metsänpeitto ("forest cover") and The Archivist’s dispatch on the world folding over upon itself, this original illustration captures a mesmerizing, swirling vortex of moss, mist, and botanical embroidery. Rendered in fluid watercolor and delicate ink linework, the piece evokes the disorienting, dreamlike boundary where the visible woods tuck away into an ancient, hidden pocket of the earth.
