THE TREE is a poignant exploration of loss rendered in a singular pink against a black background, invoking the delicate yet intense bond between a mother and her son. This color choice underscores the purity and intensity of the son's love and pain. The figure, depicted in dance, symbolizes the tumultuous chaos and the son's scream for help as he confronts a world without his mother. Spirals converge into the heart, representing the inescapable vortex of his emotions. The central figure embodies a sense of being centered amidst the turmoil, grappling to find balance in a life that is unraveling. Internalized in the artwork is the image of a rose, a symbol of the sacrifice that has been made, evoking the protective love and comfort once provided by the mother. This rose, absent yet ever-present in the son's heart, serves as a silent guardian, helping him feel safe in a reality where he feels profoundly vulnerable. THE TREE thus stands as a testament to the enduring impact of maternal love and the chaos left in its absence.
