“The matter of two trees still continues. It is not about two trees. It is about the power relations people establish among themselves and their environment. The ones who hold the power exist with the buildings they build.
My writing and drawing continues. My writing in this notebook became so entangled you can’t even read the words. I guess the notebook is about people distorting and destroying everything in their reach.
Let’s leave it at that. And take me to the park.”
