“In this circular image, two figures lean in over the tree; their heads are full of ideas for fruiting, their bodies are full of dead fig leaf patterns. (The two circular shapes with fruit seeds inside of them represent the figures’ heads; the branch-like imagery beneath the heads represent their shoulders.) Their ideas and dreams have not born fruit. They converse about how to cultivate growth. Then one pushes back against the other and creates tension, discord. From that tension comes an opening, letting the fig tree have its time and space to thrive.”
