We come from roots that, though invisible, shape our very existence. This image is a visual meditation on identity, inheritance, and the primal memory encoded within the body—what the mind often forgets, the body silently remembers. It reveals the emotional threads that quietly weave through generations—longing, pain, the strength to endure. Every family tree conceals roots soaked in the unspoken, yet ever-present. The tree in the photograph transcends its natural symbolism—it becomes a living metaphor for our ancestors, subconscious, and emotions passed down without words.
