Some trees hold stories for hundreds of years, and some only for a short period of time. Throughout history and different cultures, trees have been known to hold a special meaning. This art piece was inspired by those stories and what trees mean to me. Whenever I see an older tree that has grown to great beauty, I feel like I'm in a dream. Mankind has destroyed so many things throughout history, and seeing a tree live for so long is something special; it not only survived mother nature, but also the destruction mankind has inflicted on itself.
