“The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn” This is the closest I can get to visually capturing the essence of Mother Tree: in recent scientific research, it has been found that young seedlings in a forest setting are nurtured by their larger and more mature counterparts, with the help of microscopic fungi. This piece features 100 tree rings! For a beautiful description of this process, watch this video, narrated by Dr Suzanne Simard, one of the most prominent researchers involved in tree root communication. |
