I explore the interactions between Humans and Nature and how we change Nature to serve our needs. We have this need to custom tailor all things to our benefit. As humans, we value life on a scale of importance according to our rules, one example is The Tree. We do not live with the tree as it lives in Nature, we cut it down, make planks and recreate the tree into structures and shapes we prefer. Humans mostly feel everything on Earth exists to be re-created for a human dominated ecosystem. How different would our world be if our observations contained more clarity of available options? One example would be the Roots of that Tree. Could we manipulate the root growth creating patterns that would be more beneficial verses the random way they form in the ground today? What would collaboration with other living forms look like? Bending Nature in more harmonious ways could benefit both of us in ways not yet imagined.
