The tree of life is an ancient archetype that is common to many cultures, religions, and spiritual traditions. It's said to represent the connection between the Earth and heavens, depicting a life force that connects everyone as well as the cycle of life and death. My version aims to emphasize UNITY and incorporates patterns from each inhabited continent.
The spiral makes a great metaphor for evolution and infinity. My version incorporates patterns from cultures and traditions on every continent alternating. The goal was to show the beauty of diversity as well as unity.

Lizards represent adaptability and survival in many cultures. In the context of a "cultural chameleon," this quirky drawing is an homage to all my fellow far-flung immigrant, expat, and refugee friends trying (and sometimes failing) to fit into their host countries. We may look, act, and sound a bit silly as we navigate life in a land far from where we were originally born; but we bring good energy, experiences, and skills that we'd like to share with our new local friends and community.
This mini tree of life was inspired by a recent visit to Lake Malawi. This ancient archetypal symbol represents a connection between the Earth and the larger universe.
