roots The Storm
22" x 17" Mixed media with plant roots
Much like the tumultuous times we are living in amidst the pandemic, storms stir up anxiety, create uncertainty and plummet us into darkness. Yet, amidst the chaos there are silver linings. “The Storm” reminds us that even in difficult times, there is beauty. This recent storm that pummeled Ridgefield left us surrounded by destruction and shrouded in darkness, quite literally. Yet, Mother Nature, the same force that created this widespread devastation, is also home to unparalleled beauty. As we struggle to navigate the pandemic that has altered life as we know it, we find an outpouring of community support, a new appreciation for family and the knowledge that together, we will get through this. There is a calmness that settles in both before and after the storm, which reminds us that… “this too shall pass”.
