Roots

Roots

Original mixed media collage on paper, mounted on wooden board and framed. 70 x 100 cm. Comes ready to hang.

This mixed media collage explores the quiet strength that comes from being deeply rooted. A woman surrounded by collaged trees that wrap around and through her figure. She appears to grow from the landscape—her body connected to roots below and branches above. Birds circle around her, adding a sense of movement and lightness.

Roots speaks to the unseen growth that happens underground and supports great growth.  It’s about bmhow being grounded and allows growth. The woman’s posture is calm and open, as if she’s both holding the earth and letting the sky in. The trees symbolize inner stability. The birds bring in themes of freedom, intuition, and the courage to rise.

Part of my Unspoken collection, this piece reflects on the connection between the natural world and our inner world. It’s about the power that comes from knowing where you come from—and the beauty of allowing change to unfold without losing your center.

Created through layers of portrait drawing on paper, paint, and hand-cut collage elements, Roots brings texture, warmth, and symbolism together. The natural tones and organic forms invite a sense of calm and reflection. A grounding presence for any space, especially for those drawn to themes of growth, healing, and connection.
