The Trees series considers the tree as a living form shaped slowly by time, environment, and human presence. Photographed in the American West, these images focus on individual trees whose structure bears the marks of growth, weather, and intervention. Removed from the broader landscape, the tree becomes both subject and witness — a record of time made visible in form. Through careful framing and extended observation, the work approaches the tree as a kind of natural sculpture, where the forces that shape the land are made legible in a single living structure.
