De tekeningen in het project Into the Trees van Connie Dekker brengen een wereld tot leven waarin elke boom lijkt te ademen; hun grillige wortels en holtes fungeren als schuilplaatsen voor kluizenaars, figuren die een andere dimensie van het menselijk bestaan belichamen. De tekeningen zijn een poëtische verkenning van afzondering en introspectie.

In my latest series of drawings, titled “Into the Trees,” I depict weathered trees and the creatures who call them home. These trees are large and gnarled, bearing the marks of time.
This series tells a story about nature, where the trees are not merely a backdrop but play a crucial role in shaping the narratives of the characters living within them.
The trees themselves are the last remnants of a world slipping from our grasp, where human lives might fade into memory, and the fairy-tale figures we thought forgotten return.
From the depths of our dreams, they re-emerge—waking once more in the hollows of these timeworn trees, ready to share their stories with those who dare to listen.
