Veins and Arteries are similar to the history of baroque art, because of the vivid movement they both portray.
What is Baroque art? A period of artistic style that used exaggerated motion to represent tension, drama throughout the arts. Connecting with veins and arteries, they are also a representation of exaggerated motion as blood moves freely through and creates a tension through the piece. Connecting with the theme of "From Hell to Heaven (through tree roots)", tree roots create motion as they move to grow the tree even further.
