Let me tell you a story about Leshy — the forest spirit of Slavic mythology.
A guardian unlike any other, he lives deep in the woods, wild and mysterious.
They say the deeper you walk, the larger he becomes — a walking tree with a mossy beard and green-shimmering eyes, both protector and trickster.
He is huge within the forest, but outside, he grows small.
A shapeshifter, he can become an animal, a vine, a shadow — and if you disrespect the forest, he may lead you astray.
But he will always protect the animals, and the woodland.
This carpet is my ode to that gentle, tender wildness — fallen trees, soft decay, mushrooms rising from the damp, hidden deer peeking through.
Let them be untouched, wild. Let the forest keep its secrets.
