Root Work

Root Work captures a moment of intentional reflection and excavation. The figures are positioned with both ease and awareness, suggesting a familiarity with the space they occupy. This is not a place they stumbled into. It is a place they chose to return to.

Within the Remembering collection, this piece represents going deeper than surface-level understanding. It is the work that happens beneath what is visible. The emotional, mental, and spiritual layers that shape identity are acknowledged here, not avoided.

The dual presence within the composition suggests dialogue. Not just between two figures, but within the self. Past and present. Protection and vulnerability. Strength and softness. All existing at the same time.

There is a grounded energy in the piece. Unlike moments of release or realization, this feels anchored. Still. Intentional. It reflects the kind of work that is not rushed, not performative, and not always visible to others.

This piece invites the viewer to consider what lies beneath their own surface. What patterns were inherited? What experiences shaped them? And what does it mean to truly do the work required to understand it?
