Trees Die Standing
This painting is inspired from a favorite Spanish play I read by Alejandro Cosana called “Los Árboles Mueren de Pie” translated it means Trees Die Standing. The story is about a family trying to prevent their elderly matriarch from hearing tragic news for fear it might kill her. She finally hears the news and continues strong taking care of the family. She says she is dead inside, but still standing, like a tree dies standing up.
“Do not see me fall. Dead inside, but standing tall. Like a tree.”
It reminds me of women who are nurturing caregivers of children and elderly, who need to show strength by standing strong, despite their grief.
