This composition is a 23 carat gold on paper titled ‘The Canopy’ by Jethro Buck (b. 1986).
Jethro Buck attempts to draw our attention away from ourselves and into a contemplation of treetops and the limitless space beyond. Through the canopy, we get a glimpse at the profound infinity of the universe. To the artist, the gold represents unity and the trees, diversity. He invites us to observe nature’s timeless sentinels and consider how fleeting is our own existence.
