Linda Carruth begins this composition with a textured foundation of oversized tropical leaves, layering grungy elements to create a sense of depth and age. At the center stands a whimsical, metallic tree, meticulously built piece by piece and decorated with delicate butterflies and antique buttons. The word PEACE is spelled out in weathered typewriter keys, anchored by climbing ivy that winds through the letters and hangs from the branches.

The imagery serves as a visual metaphor for the relationship between light, peace, and progress. Carruth suggests that enlightenment provides the essential energy for spiritual growth, much like the ivy that thrives under the glow of the symbolic lights. Even as the tree’s trunk twists and turns, reflecting the unpredictable nature of life, its branches continue to reach upward, suggesting a resilient drive toward the sky.
