Description
Trees stand in a slow-moving dance. A car passes by, and I wonder if the driver notices the striking poses. Several days later, men with chainsaws will work their way through each tree. Their metal teeth will chew into the outstretched arms and splayed fingers of the dancers, and there will be limbs piled up on the ground. I did not know this at the time, so I’m very happy to have captured this moment. ⠀
