Fading Forest

 

Imagine this! What if you were to enter with the harsh reality that a tree has been chopped down (its physical aesthetic changed from upright to bent). Simulations of forest fires "engulf" the forest, with the green illumination of the trees changing to red. Accompaniments of crackling and depressing fusions of tones ravage the atmosphere.
