Guardian Tree (Autumn / West) emerged from a desire to honour the season of endings. Burnt gold leaves, deep earth tones, and the invisible mycelium threads beneath the surface all spoke of decay as a sacred teacher. This tree stands watch—guarding, witnessing, and holding the wisdom of what is falling away.
