Rooted in the Wind X

"Rooted in the Wind X" offers a poetic exploration of energy and stillness. The figure stands on the fragile threshold of winter, where ice forms a tenuous barrier between water and air. Their quiet yet dynamic posture mirrors the twisting branches that seem to grow from their very being.

The muted tones lend the image a painterly quality, softening the contrasts while emphasizing texture. The stone at their side anchors the composition, symbolizing constancy amidst the ephemeral. This image invites reflection on the words of Zen Master Dogen: “When you find your place where you are, practice occurs, actualizing the fundamental point.”
