The urban environment is shaped at the intersection of the natural and the artificial. In this series, high-rise architecture is examined through vegetation that conceals its foundations, transforming it into a transitional point between the earth and the built environment.

The vertical axis unites natural and architectural forms, creating a visual kinship between trees and high-rise buildings.
