Entangled
Original Art by Carmen Delprat
Pencil Illustration, 2022
 
With a contemplative gaze, she gazes toward what’s ahead, resting her chin in thoughtful repose. Her dark bob seamlessly merges with the twisting tree trunk that spirals from her head—its branches reaching forward, suggesting a journey already experienced, yet still unfolding.
 
Her expression speaks not of resistance, but of quiet acceptance. The path ahead is clear, and with wisdom gained, she moves forward with grace.
 
The entwining tree represents life’s complex growth—rooted in the past, yet ever-reaching. Its delicate, twisting form reflects the organic nature of thought, memory and experience, captured in rich contrasts of light and shadow that evoke stillness and inner strength.
 
In Feng Shui, the wood element symbolises flexibility, resilience and growth. Here, that energy is channeled through the tree, grounded yet reaching confidently toward the future. The monochrome tones enhance the piece’s air of contemplation and intellect, making it a powerful statement of clarity.
Where could your thoughts grow if you allowed them to twist and turn freely?
