Wow. This is art. Thank you for sharing the process too. I enjoyed both reading how this came about and the excerpt on "trust."

I liked hearing about the cycles too. How all life is an endless stream of birth, life, and death. It reminds me of a mural I saw with just a horde of endless streaming people crawling out of the mouths of the person behind them, and just consuming all before them.

Your picture seemed similar.

Like from the woman the seed births underground, and stretches up like a tree.

I like how the hair merges with the ground and soil, how the body seems to give life to the bud under the person. Well done! Such a great picture/drawing.

Color me totally impressed.
