The series visually explores what lies beneath the surface of appearances: like roots that grow in the darkness of the earth, personal identity also sinks into deep and often invisible layers. Each image represents a stage in this symbolic and sensorial journey, where light and color do not describe, but evoke. The forms, whether abstract or natural, vibrate between matter and spirit, between the physical and the imaginary. The dominant pink and violet tones suggest an inner world—intimate, almost womb-like—where emotion is alive and transformative. The "roots" are not merely natural elements: they become emotional connections, fragments of memory, energetic traces, architectures of feeling.
