: The idea itself has been sitting in my mental drawer for a long, long time. So almost 10 years ago when my grandfather passed away that’s when I made myself a little drawing of a man who hangs his own memories and belongings into the tree, and then how he grows the tree from a little singular flower, all the way to a grownup tree. So that doodle was almost like a diary for me and I didn’t share that with anybody.
And then in summer, it turns into youth, like full green. And in fall, it becomes red, yellow, full of those colors. Then in winter, it loses all the leaves and turns into pure white and then connects all the way back to the spring. And I thought, oh my God, that’s our life right there. I wanted to describe the circle of life as well from beginning to end, but the end connects back to the beginning again. So, I thought the tree literally symbolizes what I wanted to talk about so clearly.
