Recharging I

Original artwork translated onto silk.

A richly layered composition where strength meets stillness, and the visible world reaches toward something deeper beneath the surface.

THE STORY OF THE ORIGINAL PAINTING

Recharging came from a quiet awareness of how deeply we borrow from the world around us when we are depleted.

Steady and grounded, the elephant reaches toward the tree - not simply toward its branches, but toward something unseen. Between them, a luminous current appears to flow, suggesting an exchange of energy, a transfer, a remembering.

Nature does not rush us or demand anything in return. It holds, restores and gives back in subtle, almost invisible ways. Here, the tree becomes both shelter and source, while the elephant - so often associated with strength - allows itself to lean in and receive.

Beneath them, the roots are as present as everything above. Spreading deeply through the earth, they speak to what we can easily forget: that restoration often happens beneath the surface - in stillness, connection and the unseen places from which we draw strength.

Recharging exists somewhere between strength and softness. It is an invitation to pause, to lean in, and to allow ourselves to be supported - by the earth, by memory, by connection, and by something larger than ourselves.
