Description
This piece is a composite of two images; a man-made inuksuk, and a deserted forest. Combined, it raises the age-old question, "if a tree falls in a forest, does anybody hear?" The contrast between man's fleeting existence and the everlasting strength of nature can be contemplated while looking at the inuksuk standing in the forest among fallen and erect trees.
Inuksuks, or cairns, are markers built by humans to signify their brief visit to the place where they were built. Will the trees remember we were there? Did we have to be there for the forest to feel important? Interesting thoughts to ponder when looking at this image. Perfect for a waiting room, office, classroom or rustic living space.
