Lungs of the World (Single)
DESCRIPTION
Taken at night during a blizzard in Chicago, this tree looks like upside-down lungs, reminding us of the importance of trees for all of life. The tree continues to stand and breath even in the harshest winter conditions of Chicago. The bare outline not only look like veins, but also signal the fragility of the tree. We can care for or harm the lungs of the world.
