Banyan tree roots creep along walls and sidewalks, creating patterns that look like Piet Mondrian’s famous grid paintings. These roots form straight lines and squares, mimicking the abstract style of Mondrian’s art.

Photographer Alex Hofford documented how these tree roots create striking visual patterns, blending naturally into the urban landscape. Even in the middle of a busy city, nature quietly shapes its own unique art.
