THE FOREST

Fascinated by scientific research on plants, David Vimar creates a new project on the Forest" and its power of communication. Trees are linked to neighboring trees by an underground network of fungi that resembles the neural networks in the brain. Trees not compete but collaborate, sending elements like carbon, water, nitrogen, phosphorus and even distress signals throughout their group as needed. Trees are "social creatures" that communicate with each other in cooperative ways that hold lessons for humans, too.

"The Forest" project, encourages us to investigate our communicative power in society by presenting a series of pieces that symbolize the interconnecting power of our forests.
