£135.05
Original artwork description
What We Carry explores the invisible weight of memory and the experiences that shape who we become. The tree symbolizes identity: rooted and recognizable, yet constantly transformed by everything it has lived through. Its crown unfolds in expressive layers of crimson, rose, burgundy, and warm orange, evoking emotions and memories that resist a fixed form.
Delicate branches remain visible beneath energetic bursts of pigment, creating a contrast between inner structure and outward movement. Each splash becomes a trace of something remembered — an encounter, a loss, a moment of joy, or an experience that continues to live within us.
The work invites viewers to reflect on what they carry from the past and to discover their own story within the image. With its rich palette and expressive organic form, it brings warmth, emotional depth, and a vivid focal point to an interior. It will appeal to collectors drawn to symbolic, nature-inspired art that reveals new associations over time.
