Deeply Rooted

“Know the tree by the fruit it bears” Matthew 7:20

Deeply Rooted is an exploration of identity, character, and spiritual grounding. This mixed media piece draws inspiration from Matthew 7:20, a verse that speaks to the undeniable connection between what is within and what is revealed outwardly.

The work symbolizes the unseen strength beneath the surface—the roots that anchor and nourish life. Just as a tree’s fruit reflects the health of its roots, our lives reflect the truths we are grounded in.

Through layers of texture, natural elements, and symbolic imagery, Deeply Rooted invites viewers to consider their own foundations. What sustains you? What values run deep in your life? And when others encounter your “fruit”—your actions, your words—what story do they tell about the roots unseen?
