About The Artwork: 

Introducing "Supplanted", a surreal black-and-white illustration that depicts an egg-shaped ball of roots with a baby growing inside. The juxtaposition between the seemingly delicate nature of a child in its early stages and the powerful strength represented by roots creates an intriguing contrast that will leave viewers wondering about what lies beneath the surface.

Babies are often seen as a symbol of new beginnings, innocence, purity, and hope for the future. As the youngest members of our society, they represent the potential for growth, change, and progress. The idea of a newborn baby is often associated with a fresh start, a clean slate, and the opportunity to start anew. Additionally, babies are often viewed as a representation of the circle of life, as they remind us of the continuity and cyclical nature of existence.

Roots are often seen as a symbol of stability, grounding, and foundation. They represent the connection between the physical and spiritual realms, as they anchor plants and trees to the earth while nourishing them. Roots also symbolize growth and resilience as they expand and reach deeper into the soil to find the nutrients necessary for survival. In some cultures, roots symbolize ancestry and heritage, representing the deep connections to one's family and cultural history.

The egg shape is a powerful symbol of new beginnings, potential, and fertility. It represents the start of life, as it contains all the necessary elements for a new being to grow and develop. The egg shape is also often associated with rebirth and transformation, as many animals and insects hatch from eggs and undergo metamorphosis as they grow. In some cultures, the egg shape is seen as a symbol of the universe or the cosmos, representing the infinite potential of creation and the cycle of life, death, and rebirth.

"Some changes look negative on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge." — Eckhart Tolle
