Japanese artist Nagato Iwasaki creates eerily beautiful driftwood life-size sculptures that appear as "ancient beings, wandering through forests." The wooden figurative structures are a captivating conceptualization of the inherent balance that is contained within humans and Earth's ruling natural elements.
Some of the graceful life-size sculptures are intentionally left unfinished, while others have a wooden bicycle as an accessory. The romantic quality and naturalist aesthetic make the sculptures an inspirational and fitting artful approach to a conceptualized independent fantasy film that coaxes people to literally return to their roots and embrace a few moments in the complete awe of nature.
