Roots

Roots

Inspired by Carl Jung’s well-known quote, “No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell”.

This quote suggests that true strength, potential, and enlightenment are achieved by confronting and integrating one’s deepest struggles, shadows, and darker aspects of the self, much like a tree’s towering height is dependent on its deep, unseen roots
