I hold a Tree or the Tree holds me

I hold a Tree or the Tree holds me

I hold a Tree or the Tree holds me, Acrylic and Ink on Canvas with 24ct gold and silver leaf, 48 x 60 inches

The intricate bond between humans and nature, symbolized by I hold a

Tree or the Tree holds me, underscores our profound interdependence.

As environmental challenges escalate globally, it is imperative to

recognize that it is nature that safeguards humans, by providing us

with clean air, water and resources. By protecting the environment,

we are acknowledging our role in preserving the life support system

that sustains us.
