At an outdoor art market in Braga, photographed in December 2023, Paradise Shoman's work was not pinned to a wall. Drawings and paintings on paper were tied with ribbon to the branches of a tree in the park.

It is the idea behind the Living Grove in a single picture: the tree as a gallery, and the work met outdoors, among leaves and light.

“I feel like the trees talk to me. When I see a tree, I see a piece of art.”
