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 by creating space for different narratives. Applied to the natural world, this approach reframes trees as more than biological entities, but also 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, layered and echoing over time. The resulting images suggests a way of looking that might allow us to relearn to read the natural world itself, and reconsider our place within the systems that sustain it.
