Together

We are strong but also fragile and that’s why we often hurt ourselves.
With time, we learn that not all our wounds heal. There are those that leave their imprint forever. A legacy visible as much as hidden.
Death is the most indelible mark left as a legacy to others by the life of each of us.
Scars gave me the chance to depict this gash in the soul, to give it a form, colour. I look at it and it moves me.
I imagined a body, lifeless, buried under the ground, becoming one with the soil, fertilising it. Then, with time, where there was death, the seed of a new beginning appeared: a tree growing. Its branches wrap around me in a loving embrace. And life returns.
