Rooted in Realms

This painting beautifully captures the unseen essence of growth, resilience, and transformation.

Above the surface, the lush green bloom radiates harmony, balance, and vitality — the visible outcome of one’s journey, the part the world admires and celebrates. Its layered petals unfold like achievements, wisdom, and peace — the “beauty at the tip” that shines under the light.

But beneath the soil lies the truth of what sustains that beauty — a deep, intricate network of roots winding through the darkness. These roots, though unseen, are where the real alchemy happens. They represent the pain, the lessons, the fears, and the hidden battles that nourish growth. It’s a reminder that the richest soil is born of decay and struggle, and that the unseen depths are what make the surface flourish.

The contrast between the radiant green above and the dark, tangled roots below tells a universal story: our success may bloom in the light, but it is the darkness that fertilizes our becoming. True beauty is rooted in what no one sees — the quiet endurance, the healing, the breaking open, and the choice to rise again
