About this piece


In Connecting with Nature in Celebration of Tu Bishvat, the artist reflects on the themes of renewal, growth, and resilience inspired by the Jewish festival of Tu Bishvat. Layered tree trunks, branches, and foliage are transformed into rhythmic patterns of line, shape, and colour, celebrating the vitality and interconnectedness of the natural world. A luminous canopy of leaves evokes the beauty of stained-glass windows, creating a space of quiet contemplation. In response to the exhibition theme of Reframe, the artwork invites viewers to see the forest anew—as both a sanctuary for reflection and a powerful symbol of regeneration, hope, and our enduring connection with nature.
