This portrait depicts Alicia, not merely standing amongst trees, but rooted, as one with them. Her form seamlessly blends with the bark, roots, and foliage, creating a powerful allegory for her deep connection to nature.
Rooted emphasizes Alicia's interwovenness with the Earth and her connection with trees. Embracing her protectively, the branches and leaves form a canopy overhead. It becomes her safe space to invite growth. The use of symbolism is key to enriching the portrait's meaning.
The trees represent strength, resilience, and wisdom, qualities Alicia embodies. Her providing the roots symbolizes her groundedness and connection to her heritage, while their upward reach signify her aspirations and growth. The butterflies surrounding her provide energy and signify her acceptance to change as they carry along a single red thread. This ties it all together - defining her connection to life itself.
