This piece is part of my Galaxy Series. All pieces in my Galaxy Series are titled after stars. When I was creating this piece I was inspired by Japanese art in creating the mountain - I traveled to Japan at a young age and appreciate the ink art that is sharper on one edge and softer on the other.

It is easy to forget that every tree has roots that you cannot see. This is analogous to people. Roots are what make trees stand the way they do, so attached to the earth, yet always reaching for the sky above.
