Treehugger, 2016 - ongoing

The word "treehugger" is burdened with a negative connotation. Treehugger is an ongoing body of work that aims to reclaim the word by using it in its literal context. In addition, Treehugger is a call to city dwellers to reconnect with nature for both mental and physical health. Each photograph is titled with the GPS coordinates for the tree being hugged, so that the viewer can choose to seek out and hug a tree that they feel a particular connection with.
