I have spend most of my childhood roaming through the woods, building dens, climbing trees and looking for creatures. The woods with the tall trees is to me a very safe, warm and happy place, it is home! Seeing the tall beeches surrounding my home town always makes me feel that I am home!
I am drawn to the idea of the tree as a living ting, how it reaches out and interfers with other trees. Trees are not just what is visible, they have giant roots which also spreads and creates enormous landscapes underground. Trees gives life to almost all living creatures, some animals physically live on/in trees and we all need the trees to transform the carbondioxide we produce into oxygen. We need the trees and they need us, symbiosis!
To me each tree can symbolize a network of people, it being families and friends. How these together makes a strong healthy structure. This is what this project is to me, building on our tree, making it bigger and better. The bond Louise and I have build and all that we have shared during our four years of doing the degree can not be ignored. Together we have created a strong branch which I certainly haven’t finished developing yet.
