An ongoing project.
Roots is a project exploring themes of belonging, displacement, and resilience. Through the visual juxtaposition of enduring trees and displaced people, it examines the deep connections between history, land, and identity.
The project highlights forced migration and the commercialization of cultural heritage. By drawing parallels between the displacement of Native American communities and the Ukrainian experience, the project aims to foster dialogue on the lasting impact of colonization, war, and cultural erasure.
By capturing moments of struggle and endurance — both in nature and human narratives — Roots serves as a meditation on the persistence of identity. It reminds us that despite adversity, roots always seek their native soil, shaping both individual and collective futures.
