Forest Guardian :: AKA Leshy
Leshy is a long-form character study in environmental accretion—an entity shaped by landscape, memory, and time. The work emphasizes slow transformation, material continuity, and a restrained mythic presence rather than costume or performance. Over repeated appearances, the figure becomes a living archive of place: part portrait, part ecology, part contemporary folklore.
Canonical portrait study — sustained likeness and material continuity.
A secondary variation — environmental context and surface behavior.
Keystone environment piece — the character placed within a living landscape.
A context test — observational framing and restrained motion.
