Image description: Self-Portrait as a Tree by JK Russ
A paper collage of a tree with branches full of eyes growing from a rocky outcrop. The sky is a swirl of various shades of blue that gradually lightens in the distance. Hovering overhead, the petals of a pink flower point downwards to the tree while its stem and an open, yellow seed extend upwards into the sky.
