The idea, says the artist, is to «present a series of
rainforest tree stumps as a «ghost forest» — using the negative space created by the missing trunks as a metaphor for climate change, the absence representing the removal of the world's «lungs» through continued deforestation»
For Adams,
trees have always played a central role in both sides of this story, from clear - cut
stumps on a logged mountainside to centuries - old Sitka spruces in the coastal
rainforest.
