Radice muta, Linfa eterna

Radice muta, linfa eterna (Silent Root, Eternal Sap)

In an arid soil, scarred by absence, deep roots sink and, in silence, guard the memory. From that invisible substance, life still flourishes: a yellow rose opens, fragile yet resilient, nourished by a heritage that cannot be seen but endures. The petals that detach are not a loss, but time gently settling. In distance, in absence, something continues to flow: what has been remains, like silent sap, sustaining what is yet to be.
