The project uses tree burial as a link to connect people with the life and death of trees.
Everyone dies, and when the way to die is to become a tree, when life gives back to nature in a new form, how do we construct a connection with the deceased?
From the perspective of non-anthropocentrism, we view the interaction from the outside world and our own response from the perspective of becoming a tree. From the three perspectives of nature to tree, man to tree and man to man, we give people and trees different role experience, so as to let people further understand and feel nature.
