Tree of Life
mixed media
Size of Piece: 48 x 47 x 2
Inspired by the majestic oaks of Brookgreen Gardens’ Live Oak Allée, Tree of Life is a kimono collage that symbolizes endurance, heritage, and interconnectedness. Indigo hues reference the region’s indigo-growing history, while the kimono form, Japanese paper leaves, and repurposed fabric blooms honor both cultural tradition and environmental mindfulness. The tree, crafted from reclaimed denim, draws from the Japanese Boro technique of mending and reuse. Through this fusion of South Carolinian and Japanese elements, the piece reflects Brookgreen Gardens as a living bridge between past and present, nature and culture—a place where beauty and legacy deeply intertwine.
