Rooted in Deception - Original Framed Drawing

An original hand-drawn illustration by Coleen Austin.

Healing Canopy Series - Rooted in Deception

Blending profound emotional depth with the complex geometry of the natural world, "Rooted in Deception" is a deeply personal original fineliner ink illustration from the Healing Canopy series. This piece addresses the invisible internal battles we fight individually, the silent struggles with CPTSD, anxiety, and heavy mental health burdens that are masked on the surface and remain completely unseen by the outside world. The drawing features a lush, deceptive exterior canopy that contrasts against a raw, exposed, and incredibly intricate root system, capturing the duality of putting on a brave face while navigating deep internal processing. It stands as a powerful, validating testament to the quiet resilience required to heal from what others cannot see.
