Journal Entry #16

This piece of graffiti is almost disturbing to first look at. It's a tree with a stitched, but still fairly open wound. However, it was very well done and it can say a lot about culture in how we treat living trees as decoration, and we repair it as such. Like a teddy bear who has a split back, it was crudely sown back up and forgotten. This could of came to be by a griffiti artist who simply had a cool idea and an interesting medium. He may have been walking along the street, having just suffered a wound himself that was poorly dressed. This could of inspired him to express what he is thinking and feeling at this moment and make his feelings known to all of history.
