"THE TREE OF MY SORROW"

 

Like the trees that let go of their leaves each autumn season, Death comes in cycles...
Everything is born, lives and decays... Death and Life are the shifting poles of the same phenomenom, a revolving door between the Worlds.
This painting was for me a way to ritualize the Death in some way, to make it more real and give it form as well as support. Painting it, was a kind of ceremony of "Letting go" or saying Goodbye to my Mother... with her departure, a part of myself was dying...
" Embraced by a Tree" was the visualization I had about the ties that have connected me to my Mother...
