The forests of the world are getting cut down for man's use. The rain forests in particular are vital to the well being of the planet. They absorb CO2 and give out Oxygen. The forests use to be vast and dense and actually created their own weather patterns. Now they are being destroyed to open up the land for cattle ranching and farming. The trees of the rain forests are considered the lungs of the world. The idea that trees are like lungs gave me the idea to make a lung tree. Using the shape of human lungs as leaves I have created a tree in the process of collapse, to be symbolic of the destruction going on in the worlds rain forests.
