The shared breath:

In the heart of nature breathes the source of our existence. The trunk and branches of the tree form a human trachea and lungs. In the top, an eagle spreads its wings just like in the myth of Ygdrassil. With a sharp look and wisdom needed to understand life, he looks out over the world. A deer and hindeer populate the lungs as guardian and protector. When we look at the lungs of the earth, we look at ourselves. Without the protection of the world tree, our own breath is silent; by nurturing it, we maintain the cycle of life.
