BETULA

Intrigued by human perception and interactions with nature, I wonder why there's a tendency to antropomorphyse,
assigning humen traits to animals, plants and objects. Recent discoveries reveal that trees share information through vast underground networks.
Betula features fifteen suspended birch trunks swaying unpredictably in a grid formation. They move in a very subtile and at the same time 'unnatural' way. The tiny movements seem to jump from branch to branch and convey a sense of constantly passing on their small motions to one another.
