Abstract

This drawing is inspired by an old-growth Mahogany Tree growing in the Kakamega Forest National Reserve in Kakamega County, Kenya. The tree had a beautiful root system that remained at surface level, a characteristic of tropical rainforests, and the tree harboured a unique ecosystem of plants that have made themselves at home.
