What Takes Root carries a similar language of mark-making to Free, yet speaks from a different place. Where Free explored release and immersion, this work turns toward the earth — toward grounding, nourishment, and growth.
Dense, layered marks gather at the base of the canvas, suggesting depth and weight not as a burden but as a foundation. From this grounding, lighter tones and soft blooms emerge, evoking the arrival of flowers and the joy of new life rising from rich soil.
This work reflects the understanding that growth is not separate from depth. What once felt heavy becomes fertile. Joy does not erase what came before — it carries it. As the exhibition's closing work, What Takes Root speaks to transformation through integration, resilience, and becoming.
