The folklore thread is something I keep circling back to in my own work, how much weight it carries when you're trying to get a scene to feel like a place you remember but never actually visited. The celestial layer you mentioned makes a lot of sense with that, it's the thing that keeps nature scenes from feeling too literal, like they exist slightly outside normal time. What kind of folklore tends to show up for you, is it specific traditions or more the feeling of old stories in general?
Hey hey! 🌿 Jewel tones and golden details with a folklore pull is exactly the kind of air that lands. The celestial-wonder instinct really matters, folklore without the wonder just sits there. What pulled you toward that blend specifically?
