"Pine Tree"

Picture
Pine Tree
7"x9" Ink on Paper


In the “We Are Seeds” series, the Pine Tree is meant to represent the "wood" phase in life (the wood phase from 5 element chinese medicine theory which originated through daoism). It is a time of growth, spring, and adolescence. The wood phase represents our upbringing, the place we came from and where we planted our first roots. Just like young saplings our bodies are more flexible, we can recover from just about everything and we always focus on growing our knowledge about the world. It is a time of transitioning into fresh air, spring cleaning and the beginning of warmer sunny days as the season brings blooming all around.

This artwork was created during a trip I took to Flagstaff, Arizona. I came across this ponderosa pine tree and I was rather intrigued by the branches. I used ink on paper in order to create this piece.
