A snowy owl cuts silently across a mountainside sky, wings outstretched as if carrying messages from the unseen. Splatter paint drifts like snowfall — frozen moments, falling memories. Below, the tree of life takes root in the earth, its branches echoing the mandalas that pattern the night, symbols of balance and infinite return. This piece is both vision and mirror: the owl as spirit guide, the mountain as trial, the tree as resilience. It asks — where do you find flight, and where do you plant your roots?
