However\, if we contemplate them closely\, we will find in them the diverse and the singular.This series is an aesthetic approach to the features and scars that give life to the individuality of each tree.” \n\n\n\nThe reception will feature a forest bathing experience with Jess Rodriguez of Reciprocal Forest Bathing at 1:00 pm. This will take place outdoors\, please dress for the weather.
