#41 - 🪾 Scar Tissue

Scar Tissue is about what remains after damage. About the marks left when someone hurts you, and the choice to retreat—not as defeat, but as steadiness.

This painting draws from the image of a tree that has been wounded yet continues to stand. Its bark carries the memory of impact, but its roots remain strong. After autumn, after loss and exposure, it waits. Not passively, but with patience.

Scar Tissue speaks to a necessary pause—a retreat that allows healing and renewal. It holds the calm of endurance and the promise of return. Like a tree preparing for spring, it exists in that quiet moment before new leaves arrive, when life will bloom again with splendour.
