“Whirlpool” Photograph

Whirlpool was inspired by artist Tucker Marder and his Folly Tree Arboretum. His appreciation and love of trees reminded me of the admiration I have for the beauty in nature. Growing up in Queens took away that ability to be constantly surrounded by trees which made me forget the elegance they have. While hiking this weekend I felt connected with the Earth and was surrounded by tall trees that felt as if they were closing in on me. I felt like I was spiraling around with them and felt more connected to the trees than ever.
