In the quiet between breaths, a plant remembers how to rise. It keeps no calendar and fears no setbacks. It simply listens—root to rain, leaf to light—and turns every fragment of darkness into food for its next becoming. This painting began after meditation, when the green whispered like a pulse under the skin of the earth. I layered textures the way time layers seasons—sap green for new courage, violet for the mystery that protects growth, deep blue for the nights where nothing seems to move but everything is preparing. Strokes folded over each other like roots in conversation, finding pathways we cannot see from above. Plants do not argue with their nature; they embody it. They take what is harsh, and soften it. They take what is broken, and compost it. They choose the upward curve, again and again. When I paint, I borrow this wisdom. I slow my breath, tune to the forest hum, and let the paper remember: healing is not sudden—it is cellular, patient, inevitable. Living Plant is an invitation to grow where you stand. To trust your inner photosynthesis—the way your heart catches small lights and turns them into energy. Place this work where you begin your mornings or return in the evening, and let its greens and violets hold space for your next unfolding. Water your life with attention. Turn your face toward whatever light is available. Rise, gently, relentlessly.
