LISE GOOSSENS

I created this illustration for Like the Wind magazine, to accompany a poem by Yuki Hayashi, 'the Runner Who Turned into a Tree'.

In my interpretation, the transformation into a tree is only visible around the character’s head, to suggest that the change exists purely within his mind, while the rest of his body remains as others would perceive it.

I played around with foliage shapes, to make it seems like the character's head is 'in the clouds'.
