BRANCHING PATHWAYS

Teja Harris’s thoughtful artwork, ‘Tree of Knowledge’, explores the role of education in shaping personal growth and future pathways.

Using the symbol of a tree to represent life, the work’s branching forms reflect the many directions, choices, and opportunities that unfold as we learn and grow.

Teja is a senior student at St James College and she aims to pursue a career in the Visual Arts. So this artwork can be seen as a self-portrait, expressing personal aspirations at this pivotal time in Teja’s life journey.
