"Branches of Great Tree" is part of the series "A Tree of Great Height That Stands Amid the Land" (2022).

One of the themes of this series, and especially of the work "Branches of the Great Tree," is the sense of history moving in cycles—the feeling of recurring horrific events, with each new tragedy rekindling that pain as vividly as if for the first time. In her work, Polina compares this suffering to stigmata.

In the piece "Tree of Great Height," we see the image of the tree that is referenced throughout the series—"A Tree of Great Height That Stands Amid the Land." The title takes its roots from a biblical narrative, establishing a two-dimensional metaphor with contemporary events.

"Life that grows from a person, with branches spiraling toward the sky from their hands, and their feet planting roots in the earth." This is a metaphor for the past and the future, for the roots and branches of a tree as reflections of our ancestors and descendants.
