What do trees say about coloniality and what we value? We recently worked on The Hidden Green, a large-scale mural artwork on trees in Singapore, which got us questioning our relationship to nature and the price we pay for modernity and planning needs.

🌯 That's a wrap on my weekend in Helsinki, and first visit to Finland, for VK25: Visualizing Resilience. This conference has been on my radar since last fall, and I was happy for the opportunity to showcase my own personal student showcase.
