When the world was enraptured by a quietude that filled one’s senses with the advent of innovation, naked branches stood tall, not knowing what colours to display.

Now the green has disappeared and many are trying to put their souls into bringing it back. But nature has harboured myriad shades of green. And do humans hold the power to bring back all the nuances that reside in the green?

Once again, the branches are naked. Not in anticipation of creation, but as an effect of destruction that the human civilization so boldly upholds.

Bring back the green, fill the blackened branches, and you shall have a civilization that’ll strive.
