Return to Roots: Mother of Nature

“Return to Roots: Mother of Nature” serves as a quiet reminder of our shared origin and our responsibility toward the Earth. Even in the age of technology, we remain part of her — children of the Mother of Nature, eternally returning home.
At the center of the composition stands a monumental feminine figure carved from living wood, holding a small house in her hands. This image is layered and symbolic. The Mother embodies the archetype of the Earth — the origin of life and protection. Her body is the planet itself: ancient, alive, and fertile. From her form grow forests; from her essence, humanity emerges. She is not merely a guardian but a manifestation of continuity — of the cycle of birth, decay, and renewal.

The house within her form symbolizes the human soul. It represents the idea that humanity does not exist outside of nature but within it — living inside its body, breathing its air, and sustained by its balance. The house also reflects the inner world of a person: a place of memory, emotion, and imagination.

The hand that gently shelters the house expresses care and responsibility. It doesn’t confine or restrain — it protects. It is the threshold between destruction and preservation, chaos and harmony. It is a metaphor for the delicate balance that humanity must restore if it wishes to coexist with the natural world.

The forest growing across her body represents the consciousness of nature itself — its memory, intuition, and endless self-renewal. The trees are thoughts; the roots are the past; the leaves are the breath of life.
