Tara is the Goddess of compassion in Tibetan Buddhism, and the willow tree is a medicinal plant. Tara takes the form of the willow here because trees are purifiers, and this painting is about the purification of pain and suffering. It is compassion which liberates the tormented souls in the background and soothes the torment in us. It spirals out from the heart in a universal embrace of that which is in need of healing.
