#41 Chongqing Cedar – Memory Palace of Tree Stories

 

简体中文

When Jiali is away from Chongqing , her heart is often tugged back to her hometown when she sees Cedar Trees.

 

******************

Jiali’s  words: 

Hello, I am Jiali Luo, currently walking through Zhaomushan Forest Park, Chongqing

Today I would like to share my tree story

I live nearby so often go for a walk in this Forest Park

One day while I was hiking along this narrow road

I found myself gazing upwards

I discovered such an incredible scene

It was an impressive and breath-taking moment

I acquired a sense tranquility as time appeared to be frozen

From that moment on , I seem to have established a sort of emotional connection with the cedar tree

It reminds me of my hometown Chongqing

And makes me aware that I have a kind of ‘eternal’ link with the community

This is a very mysterious kind of relationship , similar to friendship.

Open Call for your tree story on video 

Memory Palace of Tree Stories is a socio-ecological art practice which invites you to tell a story or share information about trees . It is a creative-led social enquiry of how we can live well for both personal and collective wellbeing. Your story can be any kind of tree story , a personal tree story, an ecological tree story , an environmental tree story, an historical tree story or even a botanical tree story. I do hope you can contribute a comment on how we can live better with the greater community of life.

 

The year 2023 we continue to gather your stories in the form of one minute videos and we are really looking forward to hearing your tree story . I can be contacted directly on this platform or on the contact page on this website.
