The layers of imagery in this painting can be unwrapped like secret veils worn by individuals that feel the need to hide their identity because they are afraid society does not always accept it. The first layer represents growth; something that is planted, absorbs light, and is nurtured until it becomes healthy and tall. The second layer is passion; it is the feelings of love and support that enable you to be confident in expressing your inner self. In the last layer, a powerful beam of light shines on you. You will experience the warmth of the sun's rays and the freedom of the moment. Breaking those boundaries will allow you to overcome your fears and you begin to move forward in becoming true to who you are.
