Tarry evokes the quiet pull of a moonlit path—a place between movement and stillness, memory and dream. A soft, atmospheric nightscape hovers at the center, while a lens embedded in the shadows suggests the observer and the observed. Pinecones line the bottom like forest debris, alongside glistening elements that echo fireflies or stardust. Dark wires arc around the composition, winding like thought or time.
