I had this idea of a very old Namielle, weary and worn out, sitting alone on the shore, listening to the waves, using her wings as an umbrella, already knowing she wouldn’t see the next day.
I started thinking about what might go through the mind of someone who already knows of such fate… so I decided to use the Erdtree here as a symbol of grace and peace. As if, in her final moments, she was able to rest surrounded by warmth and care, despite the loneliness.
