Fallen Crown

Fallen Crown is a study of various textured cross sections of removed tree logs around Singapore. According to NParks, crown reduction is primarily carried out to reduce the weight of tree crowns and lower the center of gravity of tall trees. This process allows these trees to better withstand strong winds and rain, ultimately, reducing the risk of tree falls in the urban landscape of Singapore. These images serve as evidence to human’s innate need to change and control their environment while nature remains subservient to their demands.
