Tired Wood
Saul Trujillo (b. 2006)
Tired Wood is based on the image I chose for this project. It shows a pile of wood that is broken down and ready to be thrown away to bring in what will replace it. I took inspiration from the children’s book The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. I would then imagine a little story made in my mind on a child having his home rebuilt but loving his original home. Though the wood is tired he should accept if it wants to move on.
