Trees always had a primary role in many peoples mythologies, often being revered as material manifestations of some deities.

Every tree has its own meaning, but they all represent life, growth, unity. With their roots plunging deep into earth and the branches springing into the sky they are held as linking elements between earth and sky both on a material and spiritual level, and between past and future, their trunk being the present.

A tree with spiraling roots was requested by Federica to go on her ankle. The spiral itself is a symbol of eternity.
