Following
My next piece in my nature personified series is done! I call him “Following”. Like the creature from my “Watching” painting, this legendary being acts as both a symbolic and physical manifestation of the environment it inhabits.
The Follower nestles itself within the cracks of the rocky walls, almost silent, only briefly noticeable to a traveler between passing formations and shadows lurking in peripheral vision. Turn around quickly enough and maybe you’ll see him down the trail. Many have claimed to catch a glimpse amidst the rippling desert heat, though he always keeps a distance. Officially, heat stroke, dehydration, and dangerous terrain are the primary factors for disappearances in these hills, however, some locals might argue otherwise.
