Image Interpretation: “Spirit and Matter – Tree II” (2025)

Technique: Painting, drawing, and silkscreen on canvas
Dimensions: 50 × 50 cm
Series: Spirit and Matter

The work presents a dense network of tree branches spreading across the entire surface. The tree’s structure appears in black and white, while translucent layers of pink, red, and grey wash over the background, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. Scattered among the branches are small, colorful squares that resemble lights or digital fragments.

The tree serves as the central symbol — traditionally representing life, rootedness, and growth, all of which are deeply tied to the concept of home. Its far-reaching branches evoke expansion and transformation, while its unseen roots suggest stability and origin. This tension between attachment and movement mirrors the human experience of belonging and displacement.

By combining organic forms with technical processes such as silkscreen printing, the artist opens a dialogue between nature and modernity, spirit and matter. Here, home is not depicted as a fixed geographical place but rather as a mental and emotional landscape, interwoven with memories, feelings, and traces of the digital world. The colored dots may hint at the fragmented nature of contemporary identity in an interconnected, global age.

The soft veil of pink gives the image an ethereal, almost meditative quality — as if the viewer were looking into a space of memory. The work invites reflection on what it means to be rooted in a world that is constantly shifting, suggesting that home may ultimately be found in the dialogue between material presence and spiritual resonance.
