Original artwork description:

A lone wolf pauses at the edge of a birch forest, its body turned as if leaving, yet its gaze fixed back — alert, present, and knowing. The vertical rhythm of the stark trees contrasts with the warmth and texture of its coat, anchoring the figure in a space that feels both wild and poetic.

Part of the Souls of the Forest series, I Robbed the Woods IV explores the quiet tension between wilderness and presence — between the seen and unseen spirits of the forest.

The title borrows from a line in an Emily Dickinson poem, suggesting that every encounter with nature leaves us changed — as though we’ve taken something sacred just by entering.
