If trees could run away, would they chose to stay?

In this gently surreal series, analogue photography meets AI animation to imagine a world where trees, no longer rooted, pick up their trunks and stroll away.

We speak of protecting nature with policies and grand declarations — but these speak to the mind, while our bond with trees runs deeper: it is emotional, visceral, almost carnal. It is older than language, woven into the breath we share, the shade they offer, the life they sustain.

The Secret Life of Trees is a playful meditation on this silent interdependence — a reminder that without them, we are nothing but air unbreathed.
