This project was a semester-long studio project in order to compile information about forests and exemplify the beauty of them. Initial sketches take a broader approach, but as I was determined to focus on the organic structure of the leaf, including its imperfections, I began to shift to a more visual heavy approach.

As the title suggests, the book highlights the details of these leaves, using scanned ink prints as soft backgrounds and images centered on the page. It evokes attention to the uniqueness of each tree. The final section takes the direction to the present era, bringing awareness to the subtle changes in the forest that could be evidence of climate issues and other forest problems. See more
