“I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees”
Henry David Thoreau 
 
This painting by Daniela Pasqualini is part of a series inspired by the Japanese word *komorebi*, the term for sunlight filtering gently through a canopy of leaves. Vertical strokes of shifting greens and soft neutrals evoke the sensation of walking beneath trees, where light and shadow dissolve into a quiet, meditative rhythm. The work also echoes the spirit of *kachou fuugetsu*—the idea of discovering oneself through the beauty of nature—inviting viewers to slow down, reconnect with essentials, and feel subtly renewed in the presence of abstraction. Presented in a champagne floating frame, the piece can be displayed horizontally or vertically to echo either the rise of trees or the gentle fall of light.
