In this piece, divine and human worlds intertwine within a labyrinthine cathedral of roots. Figures are locked in an eternal dance of tension and release, suspended between power and submission. A central figure, bound by the arcs of these ancient roots, embodies both the struggle and triumph of existence. Surrounding him, draped figures observe, some as silent witnesses, others as silent judges, their presence invoking a forgotten mythology.
At the heart of this organic and architectural fusion, the roots twist upwards, lifting bodies toward transcendence while keeping others grounded in earthly fate. It asks: Are we captives of our roots or liberated by them? A symphony of ascension and entanglement, The Rooted Pantheon explores the unending duality between the sacred and the mundane, growth and decay—where every branch is a path, and every root holds a story.
2024 Domingo Pablo
