About the Artwork:
This trio is part of a watercolor painting series titled “Blissful moments”, Each painting represents an experience of presence and connection.
The trio is inspired by a dream in which I envisioned myself carrying an uprooted tree, searching for a ground to plant it. I found myself at my teachers studio, asking for his help. We planted the tree, but noticed it was almost fully embedded in the ground. In response to my fear, my teacher reassured me that it will find it’s own way to grow and reach light.
his dream represent a search for fertile ground through which our individual paths may be carved.
