"That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers." (Psalm 1:3, NIV) Life can only flourish when it is deeply rooted in good soil, drawing nourishment, extending branches, and bearing fruit in its season. In a chaotic and corrupted world, the soil we choose to root ourselves in determines whether we wither or thrive. Although I usually work with watercolor, this piece was created in acrylic. I applied similar layering techniques to gradually build depth and dimension. The central element—the roots—were first shaped by leaving white space, and later enriched with color to express the weight and vitality of growth. The colored roots symbolize the inner strength that emerges when we are grounded in the right place. Each layer of color suggests the slow, steady process by which roots deepen and strengthen over time, enabling the tree to stand firm, grow upward, and ultimately flourish.
