A large yellow tapestry with a blue tree painted from memory is pinned to the wall with the roots spread across the floor. Within the branched of the trees there are leaves made from various materials, and glowing flowers. Flowing across the roots is the projection of a series of videos that represent the stream I appreciated very often as a child. The videos within this projection are of various streams, creeks and waterfalls I have connected with throughout my life.

In the nook of the tree is a video projection of me immersed in a forest, appreciating it’s beauty. The entire piece is an homage to the forest I played in as a child, more specifically, the tree I would climb with my close family and friends.
