Artwork description

This piece is a visceral, surrealist allegory that transforms the traditional symbol of the olive tree—usually
representative of peace and longevity—into a vessel of human trauma and survival. The composition is anchored
by a central, gnarled trunk from which figures emerge in various states of distress, suggesting a deep, biological
connection between the land and its inhabitants. The juxtaposition of the hyper-expressive, classically rendered
figures against the flat, symbolic silhouette and the primitive chalk-like drawing at the base creates a multi-layered
narrative about memory, loss, and the desperate protection of the next generation amidst a literal and metaphorical
fire.
