Throughout human history, they have served as shelter and as symbol. And today, more than ever, our destiny is tied to theirs. The books weaves together prose, poetry, and art in a unique exploration of our relationship with these plants, from the billowy yet delicate black cherry to the majestic white oak. Each painting subtly points to a range of historical mythological symbols, reminding us of the "untouchable," the sacred, within each of us.
