This image to me portrays 3 generations – Old, Youth and the Offspring. The old is symbolized by the dark twig with a couple of dried leaves. The Youth is represented by the greener twig and a solitary leaf while the offspring is the new shoot coming out. The old has not withered and gone to oblivion, but held together by the Youth and at the same time it is also providing a platform for the offspring to come up. This to me symbolizes the way of life.
