Roots is a carved wooden sculpture that explores the emotional and psychological turmoil we experience when confronted with life's challenges. Its abstract, organic forms and interconnected shapes reflect the complexity of human emotions, while the open spaces symbolise vulnerability, uncertainty, and the invisible struggles we carry within.

The natural grain and texture of the wood speak to the marks left by time and experience, reminding us that growth often emerges through adversity.

Despite its fragmented appearance, the sculpture stands balanced and grounded, symbolising resilience and the strength that comes from our roots—our memories, identity, and lived experiences. Roots invites viewers to reflect on their own inner journeys and the enduring power of perseverance and healing.
