In high school, I would often doodle trees on my notes or in my journals. They were never really good-looking trees, so it was always my personal goal to draw a better looking tree than the last. Although they never really turned out well, it was always relaxing to continue to build on the branches and to make the leaves one by one.

Last Monday I was at this art club at school and our project was to try to make different geometric shapes through duct tape, paint and cardboard. And out of some strange instinct, I thought of putting a tree in there. And so I made a background with different colors and textures, and then I started to construct a tree with tape over the background with the plan to spray paint over the tree and the shadow of the tree would remain. While I was constructing this tree, I was surprised at the amount of people that would walk by and compliment my tree. I never considered myself particularly good at creating trees, whether it be with ink or tape. So I guess my four years of doodling trees in geometry and chemistry really paid off!
