No Regrets, Only Roots
12x16 inches | Acrylic on Canvas | 2025
No Regrets, Only Roots is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of duality, memory, and self-acceptance. Painted in a limited palette of purples, whites, and deep shadows, this portrait depicts two interconnected figures—one facing light, the other facing darkness. Together, they symbolize the reconciliation of past and present, shadow and self.
The piece invites viewers to reflect on the deeper meaning of growth—not as an escape from who we were, but as an integration of all we’ve been. Each wrinkle, scar, and branching vein becomes part of the root system that grounds us. There is no need to erase the past to bloom in the present.
With its layered symbolism and emotional depth, this original acrylic painting is ideal for collectors drawn to inner work, shadow integration, and the quiet strength of radical self-love.
