Sethe and the Chokecherry tree

english drawing

 

I decided to create my own image. This drawing is of Sethe and her journey to her children. Getting to them means she’s a free woman.

Meaning behind this image is Seth’s life in one. She’s pregnant leaning on a Chokecherry tree [Amy Denver described it that way]. Then there’s the river where she has Denver and the escape boat. Everything here was an effect of Sethe wanting to be a free women. If she didnt let her children escape she proably wouldnt have been beaten, without her trying to eascpe to the unknown her feet wouldnt have swelled. Without her feet being swollen she wouldnt have stopped in time to find Amy Denver, without the river Sethe wouldnt have delivered Denver safely and without the boat they wouldnt have crossed the river. Pictures are worth a thousand words and here is Sethe’s thousands words.
