Reimagined Roots
In a quiet corner where concrete met soil, a single root grew—not down, but up.
Once part of an ancient tree, it remembered laughter, love, and wind-swept songs.
Twisting through the cracks, it didn’t reclaim the past—it reimagined it.
From its tip bloomed a sculpture of light and color, telling stories of heritage and hope.
People stopped. Watched. Wondered.
You can’t erase history,
but you can reimagine it.
