The trunk of the tree is a man and a woman standing face to face with their arms around each other, cut as black silhouettes against a burst of white light. Out of them the branches spread into a full canopy of green leaves, the boughs shading through orange, pink and yellow as they climb.
The roots come down in the same colors and knot together under the pair. A rainbow Celtic braid runs the whole way round the rim, and the ground behind is close to black, which is why every color on it reads hot.
Hang it in a window with the sun behind and the leaves go translucent while the two figures stay solid. It is an obvious choice for an anniversary or a handfasting present, and it also does well in a hallway where you want one strong piece of color rather than a wall of frames. It carries Beltane well, and stays right for the rest of the year.

The Tree of Life anchors the design around roots, growth and connection. The surrounding imagery supports that larger theme of continuity between nature, ancestry and personal growth.
