The Tree of Stories
The tale of the Tree of Stories introduces some core themes in my work:
The importance of bearing witness and being witnessed,
The power of having our experiences acknowledged and of hearing others share their stories.
The invitation to consider the thousands of significant moments that make up each one of us and all those who have come before
So please take a moment, sit comfortably, and listen to the story...
