A man with gray hair sits on the grass in a wooded area, wearing a gray jacket and black hoodie. Nearby, a black hat lies beside him. With deep roots echoing his life's story, the large tree and forested hillside form a tranquil background.
In a workshop rooted in craftsmanship, two men examine a wooden bicycle frame. Surrounded by shelves filled with boxes and equipment, they focus on adjusting the bike. The space tells a story of creativity—cluttered but organized like the branches of towering trees.
A lush green forest with several fallen trees covered in moss tells a story of time. Ferns and other plants, with deep roots, thrive on the forest floor while tall trees surround the scene, creating a serene, natural atmosphere.
