Treant & Visitor
I was just wandering in an old temple when the floor tiles caught my eye – they’re carved like swirling tree rings, almost as if the builders had copied the bark patterns from the forest. It got me thinking: do you feel the forest’s rhythm echoes in local architecture or craft, or is that just my imagination?
It’s not just your imagination. The rhythm of a forest is felt far beyond the trees. Builders often look to the patterns that nature already offers—bark, bark, rings—and carry that sense of order into stone. When you see those swirling tree‑ring carvings, it’s a quiet reminder that the temple, like the forest, is built to remember the pulse of the earth.
