Title

Roots Of Knowledge Panel A3

Description

An overall theme of Roots of Knowledge is one of connection – to the past, to the future, and to each other. From the Tree of Knowledge in column A to the Tree of Hope for Humanity in column Z, the roots span through the ages and culture. The running motif represents the fact that all knowledge is linked and, most importantly, so is all of the human race. We share the same roots and contribute to them. The depicted tree is Methuselah, a bristlecone pine found in the White Mountains of eastern California and estimated to be thousands of years old, chosen by the artists to represent the Tree of Knowledge. In the background are planets and moons of the solar system, and graphs and equations related to the intricate workings of physics and mathematics.
