Redefinition of experiences can help people to live a happier life. The study dwelled on the analogous juxtaposition of root forms and contents. Cassia tora root pattern is umbrella-like in shape and in shades of brown. The taproot is orchestrated by branch roots and nodes. The researcher reckoned the possibility of metaphorical approach in utilizing root forms to create painting compositions. He carried out studio experiments with Cassia tora root forms in the light of element and principles of design, as well as speculative notions, allegories and stories. This led to the production of non-figurative paintings. The final procedure was the contextual analogous process which aided the researcher in juxtaposing Cassia tora root forms with storylines commenting on societal happenings and the well-being of Nigerians. The paintings produced redefine root forms in diverse ways, as metaphors for inspiration, hope, fashion trends, peace, love, progress and cultural evolution. The study creates not only visual metaphors that express hope for a utopian world but also visual symbols that transcend the phenomena of roots beyond their botanical garden into icons of artistic expression.
