TreeAppointment

TreeAppointment – an agreement with nature.
Everything begins with the TREE, the roots in the ground and the crown in the sky. And dead branches become mulch, giving life and nutrition to new trees. But we humans, everywhere on earth, have always needed more than nature in the form of symbols, beliefs and rituals …
I can move the branches so that they form a symbol, like a cross.
A little game between nature and a human symbol in the form of a cross.
Death and food.  L.F. Johannsen
