Earth laughs in flowers, to see her boastful boys
Earth-proud, proud of the earth which is not theirs;
Who steer the plough, but cannot steer their feet
Clear of the grave.
HAMATREYA, Selected Poems (1876)

International Tree Day, Poland. The TreeHugger Project, by artists Agnieszka Gradzik and Wiktor Szostalo who have been building sculptures out of branches, leaves and vines for years.
The TreeHugger Project is an ongoing work of environmental art designed to help us rediscover our relationship with nature at a very personal and intimate level. Made from twigs, branches sticks, vines and other natural materials, these playful sculptures remind us that we humans are still very much a part of our natural surroundings. They bring us back to childhood memories when climbing trees, and playing with friends outdoors was a part of our daily experience.
