In this composition, Goggin explores the interplay between wildlife and its hidden habitat. The vertical orientation emphasizes the towering height of the trees, creating a sense of enclosure that feels both protective and secretive. The deer acts as a focal point, its presence grounding the ethereal atmosphere of the surrounding forest floor and tangled branches.

The artist uses light to define the textures of the wilderness, suggesting a space where the boundary between the animal and the earth begins to blur. By focusing on the singular presence of the deer, the work invites a slow observation of the patterns found in nature, from the dappled light on fur to the rhythmic verticality of the woods.
