I love the plant world, and I love drawing it.
So, I imagined the cover of a book dedicated to the oldest plants in the world—those that still exist today but have traces dating back millions of years.
I envisioned a minimalist and symbolic cover, using one of the oldest known plants as the key element: the ginkgo.
The typical leaf of this plant is depicted in three different ways: from the oldest known version, in blue, to represent fossil evidence; to the modern one, in bright green and yellow, the colors typical of this plant during the summer and fall seasons.
