I could relate to this piece as I have done a lot of environmental activism against logging around the US. It is a shame how our trees and forests are being destroyed for the benefit of big business.

This video is a wonderful contribution to this exhibition. This is another artist that makes a profound statement about deforestation and environmentalism through an artistic medium.
