When we define the human being as terrestrial, we are missing
their true nature, for humans don't live within the Earth, but in
the atmosphere. Our first food is air, not the ground. We are
aerial beings. One of the trees' functions is to produce oxygen:
our first food. What do we do with it? We pollute it with smog
and cut down those who produce it. An evidently contradictory
action.
This project seeks to communicate the relevance of
safeguarding and protecting our forests as well as to raise
awareness about the importance of reforestation.
