Roots Above the Falls
This piece of abstract art, painted with acrylic on 18" x 24" stretched canvas, explores the resilience of life amidst precariousness. A lone tree clings to the edge of a cliff, its roots cascading downward like threads of survival, echoing the waterfall beside it. The tree, with its lush and protective canopy, seems to defy gravity, growing outward toward a deep blue sky. Its roots mirror the cascading waters, both representing forces of life, flow, and persistence.
On the left, tall, flame-like trees rise upward, adding a vertical counterbalance and a sense of spiritual ascent, while the golden hillside and distant flora suggest abundance beyond the precipice.
In creating this work, I was inspired by the idea that strength is not just in what is seen above ground, but in what lies beneath, the unseen, enduring connections that anchor us even in the face of falls.
