05.- Persistent Forms

Persistent Forms examines trees as solitary presences shaped by exposure, time, and environmental pressure. Across desert, canyon, coastline, and high plateau, each tree appears as an individual form negotiating conditions of wind, drought, erosion, gravity, and isolation. Twisted trunks, exposed roots, skeletal branches, and improbable positions reveal adaptation recorded directly in physical structure. Removed from the context of forest and viewed as singular figures within the landscape, the trees become studies of endurance, vulnerability, and persistence, where survival remains visible in every contour of wood, branch, and root.
