We Are Nature – Artist photographs herself naked with some stunning trees around the world

TreeGirl, a photographer, arborist and educator who loves nature, has spent twenty years with the help of a remote-control timer and a tripod photographing herself naked with some of the most amazing trees around the world to represent the intimate relationship between human and nature. “The aim of my photographs, in which I am sometimes almost camouflaged, is to create beautiful images to remind us that we are nature.” The artist says. “My work is an invitation for people to reconnect with nature as a healing resource amidst the madness of our civilized world.”
