Tree Language

With slow shutter speed and a manual spot-lighting method at night, I try to capture the slight movements of trees and their treesonalities. The Tree Language project tries to demonstrate to people that every tree has its own spirit and that they deserve to be respected as beings even without human to human communication.

I lived in the mountains when I was a toddler. As a child, I talked to the trees. Believer or not, sometimes they talked back. Trees have their own life and their own energy. It saddens me that there are fewer forests in the modern world. And though I am too old to talk to trees, I still like to engage with nature. When I walked in the countryside, I held tree benches and sat next to them.I still put my ear against the trunks and listen as an adult.
