Purpose
Purpose is a mixed-media meditation on identity, intention, and rootedness. At its center stands a stylized tree, its trunk and branches formed from black-and-white polka dot patterns interwoven with checkered elements, creating a sense of rhythm and structure. The foliage blossoms into white flower-like shapes, each inscribed with fragments of printed text, suggesting that purpose is not abstract but written into the very fabric of life—words, stories, and truths carried like leaves on the tree of being.
Near the crown of the tree, a blue flower embellishment adds a burst of color, symbolizing uniqueness, clarity, and the blossoming of spirit. The background is layered with textured washes of blue, green, and black, evoking depth and mystery, while zebra-print borders along the top and bottom edges frame the composition with bold contrast.
At the bottom left corner, the word “PURPOSE” appears in bold black letters, accompanied by another small blue flower. This grounding element transforms the piece into a declaration: purpose is not hidden, but named, claimed, and celebrated.
The interplay of patterns, text, and embellishments makes Purpose both visually striking and symbolically rich. The tree becomes more than a motif—it is a metaphor for growth, resilience, and the branching paths of life, each guided by intention.
