The artwork’s red, vein-like forms evoke roots and branches, spreading outward with intensity, symbolizing the pulse of life and the interconnectedness of all beings.
This central structure is both tree and vessel, channeling the essence of life through vibrant, raw energy.
The vivid red dominates the composition, symbolizing vitality, resilience and the raw force that sustains life. It branches outward dynamically, suggesting growth and connection, while the blue base introduces a grounding element, representing water or earth as essential sources of nourishment. Meanwhile, gray tones weave throughout, adding layers of shadow and complexity, symbolizing the inevitable struggles, obstacles and moments of introspection that are part of life’s journey.
Each color and stroke embodies life’s dualities—strength and vulnerability, growth and decay, hope and hardship. The tree-like form suggests both the individual and the universal, inviting viewers to reflect on the forces that sustain humanity and the cycles that shape our existence. Sacred Life III serves as a vibrant, meditative reminder of the sacred nature of life, portraying its beauty and complexity in an abstract, organic form.
