Description

Derived from a scan of the Centennial Sacred Ceiba in Parque La Ceiba de Vieques Natural Reserve located in North West area of the Island of Vieques, part of Puerto Rico. Estimated to be more than 375 years old, this tree was just sprouting as the first white people arrived to the "New World." It has withstood both storms and humans, with roots spreading out and deep into the sand. It stands alone in a field now, and can be seen in satellite photos. I cannot pretend to know this tree, or what it has experienced, but as I circled it several times with my camera, I tried to see its journey towards the sun in the shape of it's branches. I reached out to feel the tree and while the roots and trunk are smooth, all the smaller branches were covered in long thorns, letting you know you could take shelter below but are not welcome above. This animation is a celebration of the tree as well as an acceptance that it is truly unencodable by digital technology. 2min. HD Video 2022
