Rooted in the Wind XI

In "Rooted in the Wind XI," the landscape becomes a canvas for contemplation. The figure stands in quiet harmony with the barely iced lake, their arms extending as if to hold the branches that echo their shape. These natural forms evoke rivers of energy, connecting earth and sky.

The subdued sepia tones emphasize the interplay of light and shadow, creating a serene yet powerful visual narrative. The stone rests beside the figure like a punctuation mark, grounding the composition in the physical world. This piece invites viewers to ponder Rainer Maria Rilke's words: “Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final.”
