The piece named "Pot of Life" captures the multifaceted nature of existence. It uses a pot as a metaphor for life's beginning or generational knowledge, with two diverging branches representing the various paths one might take. Yellow bubbles are scattered throughout, symbolizing moments of joy, while black dots represent life's inevitable challenges. The spirals throughout the artwork reflect the progression of time and the journey of life.
Each branch in the depiction underscores the inevitability of encountering both positive and negative experiences, regardless of the chosen path. The way these branches twist and turn illustrates personal growth and is evocative of DNA, suggesting a biological connection to life's journey. Simultaneously, they hint at the inevitable endpoint of death, emphasizing the importance of the journey itself rather than its conclusion. The color scheme is deliberately chosen to resemble a flower pot, reinforcing the theme of life and growth.
