Original artwork description:

Mushrooms have this almost magical vitality. They can pop up overnight in a damp corner, fully formed, like they’ve just appeared out of nowhere—and that surprise never gets old. What fascinates me even more is how they're never really alone. They build these tiny, intricate worlds around themselves, living in symbiotic or parasitic relationships, kind of like insects do. And when you start paying attention, you realize there’s a quiet, deep intelligence there—not artificial, not manmade, but something that comes straight from nature itself.
