Pushing Through
A collaborative installation between me, tree roots, and the people who pave roads.
Our interactions with nature and the impact and benefits of those interactions is the influence behind "Pushing Through." We pave over earth in unnatural patterns, nature responds by reclaiming it's space, breaking through what we consider solid and ours. Eventually, we will push back by reclaiming and re-paving. In this particular location, a city park, we've paved our way through in order to establish an area where we can gather and appreciate nature.
