Aquarel of Greg Suffanti from the series Trees of Life
“Metaphors of Sameness and Resistance IV Baobab Tree is one such tree that embodies the Tree of Life, which it is often called. Native to Madagascar, mainland Africa and Australia, these tubular giants can hold up to 120,000 liters of water and live for 2,000 years. It’s fruit and pulp are used in making beverages, cooking and baking. Further, the fruit is an antioxidant and considered a superfood, rich in citric acid, oil, vitamins C and B, iron, calcium and fiber.
Given all of these life sustaining qualities I looked at this representation of the Baobab tree as the Tree of Life, giving her an obviously female form…. Mother Nature protecting and sustaining life. I chose bright colors to reflect the natural environment of the Baobab tree.”,
according to the artis Greg Suffanti.
This colourful aquarel is part of the series, Trees of Life, which is specially made for the yearly theme of the Quest for Wisdom: the tree with underground connections as an inspiring role model for Practices of Global Citizenship.
