Abstract
My thesis consists of several major pieces about a profound
experience of encountering an ash tree. The tree is in the
Kanakadea Park, in front of Almond Lake, in Hornell. These
visiting experiences bring me strength, thinking about life, and
these also inspire my creation.
I cannot remember the view of the first time I stood beside
this tree and looked at the broken sunlight in front of the lake.
However, I remember how my stressful heart felt a burst of relief.
The relief becomes the beginning of this whole story. It was a
moment of peace that brought me back there to be in a daze. After
going there several times, I noticed this tree stood alone, just like
me. There are no trees around it. Could it be lonely too? It seems
well grown. How did it face the flow of time to grow into such a big
tree? As if I heard the tree whisper, “Since your life is messed up,
and you don’t know how to fix it. why don’t you seek help?”
