Tree of Life
A living symbol of connection — roots in the past, branches to the future. Our take on the Tree of Life links artworks and collections that explore growth, wisdom, and light through shadow.
Roots
Ancestry, memory, foundations. The ground we stand on and the lessons we keep.
Trunk
Practice, discipline, and presence — the daily path that holds us steady.
Branches
Exploration and creativity — reaching toward possibility and sharing the fruit.
What It Represents
Across cultures, the Tree of Life marks renewal and continuity: roots drawing from the past, a trunk in the present, and branches reaching into what’s next. It holds the tension of opposites — earth and sky, seen and unseen — and reminds us that endings become beginnings.
- Roots & Rings: lineage, time, resilience.
- Canopy & Light: clarity, guidance, protection.
- Mirrored Forms: “as above, so below” — inner work reflected outward.
How We Work With It
In ForgeEmber collections, the tree appears in sacred groves and cosmic silhouettes: roots spiralling around constellations, halos at the heartwood, quiet textures that reward close viewing. Each piece is composed to print crisply at poster sizes and to read beautifully as a postcard.
Choose what to nurture. Let the light find the heartwood.

Symbol Notes
- Circle around the canopy: wholeness, seasons, protection.
- Roots mirroring branches: equilibrium; integration of shadow and light.
