This piece is a transparent video with a figure outlined by leaves reminiscent of those from the Ginkgo tree, which it is planned to be installed next to. The leaves gradate from green to yellow and in the transparent file appear to almost be luminescent. The figure is awakening at the beginning, and right after awakening the figure begins to stretch. Once the figure is finished stretching it stands up and exits the frame and the video sequence concludes.

This was part of an exhibition: Rooting-Branching, A Public Art Project by FSU Faculty and Students. I created my part of this amazing project during my time as a student learning sculpture in the expanded field under Katie Kehoe.
