This striking clay sculpture began as the roots of a Tree of Life, yet evolved into something more profound—a powerful symbol of connection, unity, and resilience. As I sculpted, I thought about how we are all bound together, not just by physical roots or DNA, but by the unseen ties of society, culture, religion, race, economics, and shared human experience. These roots became chains, weaving together, linking us across time and space, representing the complex web of connections that unite us all.

Some of these chains are broken, a reminder that bonds can shift, and individual paths may diverge. Yet, even where one link ends, another begins, creating a seamless, unbreakable continuum. This sculpture captures the paradox of human connection: we are bound together, yet each link is distinct, carrying its own story, strength, and purpose.

This piece invites viewers to contemplate the interconnectedness of humanity. It speaks to the idea that, despite our differences, we share a common root, a foundational connection that binds us in ways both seen and unseen. Where roots and chains meet, this sculpture stands as a testament to our collective resilience and the bonds that hold us together, even through the fractures and gaps in our individual lives.
