Family Tree

An This monumental etching unfolds as a symbolic vision of ancestry, memory, and the continuity of life. Shaped simultaneously like a chalice and a powerful tree, the composition is filled with branching lines marked by generations of a family, while at its center a curled unborn child becomes the quiet heart of the work — a universal image of new life and renewal. The surrounding figures, standing in contemplation and prayerful silence, evoke the enduring connection between past, present, and future.

Rich in intricate detail and layered symbolism, the work combines the intimacy of a family story with timeless archetypal imagery. The roots descend into a mysterious underworld, while the crown expands upward like a map of human destiny, transforming the etching into a meditation on heritage, protection, remembrance, and the fragile thread that binds generations together.
