A tree is an empowering phenomenon that is often taken for granted. It is under the unassuming refuge of a tree that many have claimed to have become gurus; that many have practised the act of being a guru, on levels that are physical and metaphysical in disposition. New dimensions of realities and truths are inherent and potent in a tree, as it silently but saliently stands witness to the influx and reflux of intense and multi-faceted energy that is exuded by a massive spectrum of species. An entity such as this, naturally attains a celestial stance, with due respect to the generic genre of World Mythology that extols the tree as a metaphor for the preservation and celebration of life and for the granting of wishes. This online showcase of paintings and sculptures that features a mesmerising collection of enchanting trees, may just make your wishes come true, in ways that you will never expect.  – Vidhya Gouresan Nair
