TREE CITY - AN ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ART INSTALLATION

Tree City is in process.

The below text runs along a “street” at the bottom of the buildings.

 1. Humans strive to understand our world, think beyond boundaries, make art, invent machines, make ice cream, and travel.

2. Our minds are also easily damaged by loss, by violence, by loneliness. 

3. Closed minded, small minded, uncaring, and self centered are not our true nature. 

4. We want to be creative, generous, compassionate. 

5. In our most cruel, violent, selfish acts we feel fully justified.

6. This is the human condition.

7. In our damaged confusion we are destroying the world on which we depend to live.

8. For our survival we must be the most generous to the people by whom we feel the most slighted.

9. We must all thrive and flourish.

10. We must tell our stories. 

11. We must listen to each other’s stories with compassion.

12. For our survival we must choose intelligence, bravery, and compassion.
