Life seeks stillness at the root, craving unfolds lattice of creeping flare. Two figures lean on the glimmer, her eyes transfixed in chasm, his petrified, their silence, a still violin chord held between creation and end. The tree is the bridge for them, an aureate whisper in emptiness, ensnaring their world in a dream. The void gleams with potential, where love gilded by eternity waits to become a memory. In the maze captured on canvas life is spun from bronze boughs where past and future entangle within a frail frame of mistake, but spring air drips love on leaves, in the tree of life flowers bloom again. (Inspired by The Tree Of Life by Gustav Klimt)
