The Story of the Grieving Woodworker

Tom Booth is a visual storyteller. Even single images speak of adventure, childhood joy, and magic.

This time, however, he tells a sadder tale. Without words, he shows a man grieving the loss of the woman he loves. The woodworker finds himself carving her image into wood wherever he goes. As the years pass, he gets older and grayer. She stays just as young--and just as forever separated from him.

You can see the story of Booth's woodworker summarized at My Modern Met. And as you can see from Booth's Instagram feed, it has inspired sculptures, tattoos, and fan art.
