24 x 19 inches

Juxtaposing flora & fauna, the human & nonhuman, this piece depicts the root network of elements and spirit — bridging our bodily experience with the body of Earth. Water is a traveler between all living things, ever-changing through cycles that nurture both cells & oceans. It animates the Clay/Earth of our flesh, journeying through our blood & combining with Ether to circulate our Spirit of Fire, which makes Air of Mind possible. The elements bring us to life, only to inevitably dissipate & return to Mother Earth.
