Entanglement

In my work, I explore how trees speak. During the painting of this artwork I was immersed in books like Merlin Sheldrake’s Entangled Life and Peter Wohlleben’s The Hidden Life of Trees, exploring how nature talks below the surface.

I paint root systems because their organic branching directly mirrors the geometry of acoustic frequency. Underneath the soil, roots aren’t just anchoring the tree—they’re a living communication network, transmitting messages through mycelium, bioelectric fields, and subtle vibrations.

By singing, playing instruments, or using acoustic sonifiers to imprint sound waves onto the surface, I let cymatic patterns guide the flow of the gold leaf. The geometry of sound becomes the architecture of the roots, rendering visible the unseen frequencies and hidden conversations that weave through our world.
