Female and male figures merge with branching trees, symbols of the connections that shape how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and who we become. Across the series, power is portrayed as something that is shared, returned, withheld, or transformed. Each painting builds on the last, tracing a progression from connection and belonging to awareness, agency, and transformation. Together, they invite you to consider how the relationships that shape you also shape the choices you make and the lives you create.
