Roots of Love

"Roots of Love" holds a special place in my heart. Created after recovering from burnout, this painting reflects my journey of slowing down and reconnecting with what truly matters. During that time, I was caught up in constantly chasing goals and working harder and harder. A long trip was my escape and my path to rediscovery. It taught me to pause, listen to myself, and find joy in the simple things. I started to notice beauty everywhere, even in small moments like the delicate flight of a butterfly or the quick movement of a dragonfly.

After that trip, I created "Fleeting Beauty” as a reminder to open my eyes to the world around me and appreciate life’s fleeting wonders. Flowers became a symbol for me, representing beauty at every stage of life, no matter how imperfect or brief.

"Roots of Love" is a continuation of that journey. It invites me, and anyone who connects with it, to remember the strength that comes from nurturing our roots and embracing the quiet, powerful moments. Even now, when I find myself slipping back into the rush of daily life, looking at this painting brings me back. It reminds me to pause, breathe, and cherish the subtle but profound beauty that surrounds us every day. 

I hope this can be a reminder for you too, if you need it.
