Project Statement: This project explores the visual language of trees through deconstruction, a method rooted in critical theory that questions the truths we take for granted, opening space for other readings of fixed narratives. Applied to the natural world, this framework reframes trees as more than biological entities, but as participants in networks that connect across species and environments. The forest becomes a kind of text, its meanings shifting and dependent on perspective. The photographs enact this idea directly: digitally fragmented, rearranged, and recombined with motifs from the history of photography, they convey meaning less as a single voice than as a chorus of fragments, layered over time. The resulting images invite a more attentive way of looking, one that mirrors how we might learn to read the natural world itself, and considers our place within the systems that sustain it.
