Roots

  • Photographer
    Izabella Sapula

We come from roots that, though invisible, shape our very existence. This image is a visual meditation on identity, inheritance, and the primal memory encoded within the body—what the mind often forgets, the body silently remembers. It reveals the emotional threads that quietly weave through generations—longing, pain, the strength to endure. Every family tree conceals roots soaked in the unspoken, yet ever-present. The tree in the photograph transcends its natural symbolism—it becomes a living metaphor for our ancestors, subconscious, and emotions passed down without words.

Polish photographer specializing in fine art photography. She is self-taught and engages in her passion for photography and art as a tool to explore human relationships but also relationships with herself or the surrounding nature. Her psychological education and the fact that she grew up among animals in a house on the edge of the forest are clearly visible in her photographs. The direction of her work is determined by a longing for understanding and deeper view of human and his unity with the natural world.
