Collecting Roots by Johannes XIV:
Nature reveals itself through cycles of growth, decay, renewal, and reclamation. Organic forms become symbols of endurance, vulnerability, and transformation. Beauty and destruction exist in constant tension as nature pushes in, overtakes, heals, and consumes its surroundings. These works reflect the delicate but relentless force of life itself. A serene battlefield of balance between relentless growth and unescapable decay.
The world is watching...

"Family Tree"
Mixed Media Collage, Acrylic Paint,
Recycled 3D Textiles,
Deep Resin Finish on Canvas
A celebratory sapling planted to commemorate a blissful marriage. An intention and vision of love, family, and growth. Every passing year, every passing decade, every passing generation is connected through the roots. A silent observer documenting growth, one ring at the time. A living symbol of commitment, a gentle sage watching as time weathers memories into monumental ornament.
The wise sentinel bears witness to the changing seasons. Crowned with a new ring as a champion against the elements, it stands as a reminder of resilience. Its ever-expansive canopy weaves a dreamscape high above the ground. Light trickles in between the open spaces, playing with shadows beneath it. A glow that cascades through time.

"Perpetual Blossoms"
Mixed Media Collage, Acrylic Paint,
Recycled 3D Textiles, Glass Fragments,
Deep Resin Finish on Canvas
Vibrancy bursts from a myriad of exploding blooms overtaking the winding branches of a lone tree. Adrift on a boulder at the edge of the vast abyss. The trunk dissipates into dappled roots.
Rather than withering into a whisper of distant wind, the flowers metamorphosize into slivers of gold and silver. Echoes of memories fade into gilded beauty as time ebs and flows evermore.

"Willowed Wheeps"
Mixed Media Collage, Acrylic Paint,
Recycled 3D Textiles, Glass Fragments,
Deep Resin Finish on Canvas
Willows gently sway in the breeze, but this one is suspended with fragments of glass shattering the surface. Its proud trunk is hidden behind the tentacles of the willow reaching towards the ground. Iridescence drips throughout its canopy. Its tangle of roots cascades as ink runs down a page, a mire of deep blues. This fantastical guardian looms as a billowing presence in a gray sky.

"Oak in Bloom"
Mixed Media Collage, Acrylic Paint,
Recycled 3D Textiles, Glass Fragments,
Deep Resin Finish on Canvas
A stately oak basks in the light of the sleeping heavens. This aged wonder remains a relic of years gone by while new growth overtakes its lustrous canopy. Fragments of time age gracefully, rooted in ancient wisdom, anchored to the earth. A twinkle of celestial light is indefinitely encapsulated.
