A black-and-white scene depicts a dense conifer forest under a wide, star-filled night sky. The trees form dark vertical walls on both sides, narrowing the view toward the center. From the forest floor rises a brilliant column of white light, textured like swirling mist or liquid fire, stretching upward and dissolving into the stars. The light twists and branches as it ascends, echoing the shapes of clouds and smoke while remaining distinctly luminous against the darkness. In the foreground, four figures stand in silhouette before the glow. Two human figures occupy the center, standing close together, their forms upright and still, suggesting watchfulness rather than movement. On either side of them stand two large stags, their bodies solid and grounded, their antlers wide and branching, reaching outward and upward. The antlers visually mirror the branching patterns of the light above, creating a sense of symmetry and ritual balance. Small white points resembling snow or distant stars drift across the sky, adding depth and quiet motion. The atmosphere is solemn and otherworldly, evoking a moment of passage or encounter between the earthly forest and a vast, unknowable beyond.

The forest opens, the sky remembers something older.
