Element 4 of 4! The roots were the hardest part of this design to get right.
In Norse Mythology, there are 3 roots in this tree, I'm happy with this design's nod toward that fact through the three pairs of roots.
The roots connect different realms and symbolize ancestry, wisdom, sacrifice, and the hidden support system.
I wanted these roots to feel strong, natural, and grounded - representing the generations, stories, faith, and resilience that continue to support families and communities today.
