Broken Roots is a projection of the emotional status for a 10-year-old Adham, who feels a void inside him that looks like a single black tree in the middle of a desert. He tries to fill this void by drawing and hanging these expressive drawings with no one to notice them. The only color he knows is black although his room is filled with colorful boxes of presents that can inspire him, but these gifts are not what he is asking for.
