Among the giants

Among the giants captures a moment of being fully immersed in the forest while walking a friend’s dog through a Vancouver park. The towering trunks create a dense corridor that both encloses and transports you, a paradox of confinement and expansiveness. Within this vertical embrace, birds flutter through the canopy, small reminders that life and movement persist within the deepest stillness. The distant clearing anchors you in place, even as you’re surrounded by the forest’s vastness. This work explores how a simple walk can become a threshold into something contemplative and boundless, where the ordinary transforms into the transcendent.
