The fine, hand-drawn roots reach in every direction, as if what we carry with us keeps growing after we leave. The roots read as both tree and nerve, or as mycelium: a living network that travels unseen.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eThe surface is built in layers. Thin, translucent washes of grey-green, sage and cream create a hazy, watery atmosphere. Dry, scumbled white passages break across them like salt, frost or sea spray. The lower third is heavily textured. Thick modeling paste, scraped and pressed, forms a ground of ochre, umber and bronze that feels like earth, bark or sediment. Against this weight, the fine linear drawing of the roots and the suitcase's hinges and clasps stands out with precision. Dark vertical strokes below suggest stems, pillars or a submerged forest, and leave it unclear whether we are above or below the surface.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eThe work comes from the experience of leaving and rebuilding: what you can actually pack, and what has to travel invisibly. Painted in Montreal by a Ukrainian-born artist, it treats belonging as portable. Home is not a place you leave behind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kateryna Kobylianska","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50541333020775,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/3038\/4487\/files\/1_1792527300_30906.jpg?v=1792527311","url":"https:\/\/helloart.com\/fr\/products\/bring-roots-in-your-suitcase","provider":"helloart","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
