Grass Tree

starting at €90.00

The thousand-year-old, oxygen-free peat of Black Swamp has yielded the bones of extinct megafauna, such as the diprotodon, the largest marsupial. The area is home to unusual Kangaroo Island grass trees (Xanthorrhoea semiplana ssp. tateana), which grow to a height of over a meter. The sun filters beautifully through their foliage, and the microclimate created by the "grass tufts" protects many animals from the cold and the scorching summer heat.

RAYS OF COLOR – A series of visual energy

Color is light, and light has a significant effect on us. Although this is partly personal and culture-dependent, it has also been proven by research. Colors affect our emotions and actions. The most popular color is clearly blue, which is perceived as harmonious, reliable, and compassionate. Red attracts attention, is dynamic, pleasant, even seductive. Sunny yellow, considered active and invigorating, increases concentration and feelings of happiness. Relaxing green, on the other hand, is the color of growth, renewal, nature, and peace. No wonder that throughout history, people have enjoyed gazing at fire and water.

The images in this series can be ordered with or without a white border and stylish info text.
