With a colour palate brimming with playfulness, the neon pinks, dark browns, mustard yellows and blues in The Tree In Me all help unfurl the idea that people are strong and connected to each other, just as trees are. Poetic and lyrical, Corinna Luyken’s joyful meditation may be just what we all need in 2021. Even when we do not see it or realize it, our friends and community are closely tied to us – the same as tree roots that stretch and reach for each other underground. Without any touches of green, Luyken’s imaginative illustrations portray our indelible link to nature, and the endless nourishment it provides.
