The Ring

RING reflects the endless cycle of life. The circle symbolises commitment, connection and renewal, bringing light into the surrounding darkness.

At the centre of the work stands an old tree, evoking patience and resilience. Its roots reach deep into the ground while its branches stretch towards the sky. The work draws a parallel between the growth of the tree and our own need to stay rooted in our surroundings while reaching for something new.

RING is not only light, but also an energy that flows through us all, connecting the viewers gathered around it.
