Description: Inspired by the natural landscapes of Japanese Edo period art, Letter Tree shows a white tree stemming with written characters from six rudimentary dialects in front of simple, green watercolor bluffs. Employing value, movement, and contrast, the work highlights the growth that comes with the use of language and the power of it. Specifically, by utilizing the symbol of the tree, and the letters growing from it, the inheritance of language to nature and its strength in variation is portrayed.
