OMAR LEWIS: TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO

"World Tree"

The clean design and graphic quality of the lines are influenced by Hokusai prints and African hieroglyphic pictograms.

It expresses the idea of a tree as a massive eternally monolithic structure that reaches past the clouds and supports the sky to connect heaven and earth. This is a description that has of late been attributed to our modern "sky scrapers". I wanted to reverse the hubris of man and humbly pay homage to the things that truly sustain us.
