Tree Spirit
Original oil painting: The Rapeseed golden yellow field with a dead tree hanging by the root. The woman is coming out from inside the tree. Symbolises life even though the earth is being treated by humans badly. Reinforces how symbolically the planet is dying. Crying out through overuse and the rapeseed stands for the rape of the land resources. The ancient tribes abused and not empowered or appreciated. Herbs and remedies lost in the Amazon. Buildings over flood plains. Concrete preventing the earth to breathe. The bees are dying from pesticides. Chemicals pollute the fields and waterways. Air is suffocating as urban development continues. Oceans are filled with plastic. The painting is a part of a wider picture taken from life and captured in oils on canvass.
