There is a myth carried across cultures about trees made up of human heads. In some cases, the heads laugh so hard that they fall to the ground. Here, light projects through vacuum-formed casts of faces. The reflections intermingle with fragmented patterns that are created by natural dye resist techniques and sewn piecework. Fabric, light, and community- three essential elements of ritual- come together to index how people and the natural world imprint onto each other.
