This design coould be called “Carbon Kinship”

Trees, connected to one another, would communicate and exchange nutrients through a network of roots shaped like artichoke flowers — why not? (the illustrator makes the call).

Victor Hugo speaks of it:

A motif with fewer elements than the earlier components of this collection, and a deliberately very square repeat that nonetheless remains somewhat dense. I see it more as suited to gift wrap or small-scale fabric. It shares a similar vibe with a previous motif (I only realized this afterward — if it feels too redundant, I’ll exclude it from the collection).
To be seen…

The design showcases bold, arched fronds with purple ribbing and woven terracotta trunks, punctuated by smaller fern-like icons that balance 

This is a seamless half-drop (staggered) repeat with a strong vertical orientation. The motifs are arranged in alternating columns, creating a “wave” effect that softens the verticality and prevents the eye from seeing harsh, horizontal tiling lines. The large palm trees serve as anchors, while smaller architectural plant icons and fern fronds fill the negative space. The density is medium-high, offering a lush, densely forested feel that remains organized.
