You Can See Things Better in the Trees reflects the clarity and calm we find when we step into nature. Inspired by the quiet presence of trees, the piece captures those moments where everything feels softer, and perspective gently returns.

In the face of ongoing deforestation, the work becomes a small gesture of appreciation, and a reminder of the importance of protecting what we’re deeply connected to.
