A single palm tree rises against a banded desert sky—awkwardly tall, slightly off-center, and unmistakably present. This piece explores the tension between standing out and fitting in: how usefulness isn’t always about blending, but about perspective, placement, and quiet endurance. Part of the Secret Life of Plants series, where botanical forms become metaphors for emotional adaptation, social camouflage, and the strange grace of being needed.
