Sculptor Gerardo Rosales with his piece “Tree of Life”, nestled in the middle of the Houston Botanic Gardens Thursday, June 30, 2022 in Houston, TX.

With its glittering, embroidered roots and its hand-made sparkling leaves, the "Tree of Life" is an homage to two inspiring women: Catherine de Medicis and the nymph of Greek legend, Daphne.
