“alongside our animal brothers and sisters
we are the seed of life
our roots are within the soils
why not our souls?
we have been masked by the masses
may you never forget your roots
your home” – From the artist statement
As we grow up, our roots grow deeper. These tendrils of origin stem from our families, but also from our sense of place within the wider environment. Vranjes’ artwork reminds viewers to take note of our roots and to reconnect ourselves to the Earth as it continues to shape and guide us.
