Rooted in the Wind VIII

In "Rooted in the Wind VIII," the delicate line between solidity and fluidity becomes a visual meditation. The figure, faceless and grounded, stands against a lake caught in the throes of transformation—its surface fragile yet unyielding. The ice, not fully formed, mirrors the human condition: ever in flux, ever striving toward stability.

Branches extend like streams of thought or energy, their forms blurring the boundaries between the figure and its surroundings. The muted palette of sepia and cyan deepens the sense of calm, evoking a timeless serenity. As Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, “The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn. " The branches symbolize potential and infinite growth.

The single stone, steadfast amidst shifting elements, reminds us of nature’s enduring presence. It is a quiet witness to the fleeting dance of wind and light.
