roots

Inspired by the story of Buddha finding enlightenment whilst meditating underneath a tree without moving for seven weeks. This piece, the third in a collection of 4 representing the four seasons of Buddha, pushes the boundaries of natures’ potential further, to the point at which Buddha is immersed so much in nature, both are evenly depicted in the composition. Buddha has a length of time completely alone with nature, which makes him at peace, and a part of his surroundings.

Buddha has become one with the tree and is at peace. This painting also plays on similarities between our anatomy and nature surrounding us. The Buddha sits still and peacefully just like the tree, firmly rooted on the ground.
