The painting titled “The Roots” is an evocative exploration of connection and growth, crafted with a rich blend of materials: sand, pouring medium, gesso, structure paste, aluminum foil, heavy medium, acrylic paint, and varnish. The textured structures on the canvas symbolize the intricate web of our roots, the unseen connections that shape and support us.
At the base of the canvas, the black area represents our personal roots—our foundation, the essence from which we grow as individuals. This black expanse serves as a visual metaphor for the safety the artist feels when around dark colors, darkness is where she feels safe and at home. 
Concerning the part above … 
Emerging through the black are subtle hints of brown, echoing the earthy tones of soil, a direct link to the ground that nurtures life. The interplay of colors and textures invites the viewer to reflect on their own connections to the world, their origins, and the journey of growth that roots provide.
