In 2016, ecologist Suzanne Simard wanted to find out if trees could talk to each other. What she found was a network of fungi underground connecting the roots of trees that not only relayed information to each other, but also provided nutrients for young and dying plants. This discovery is an embodiment of community. Through the imagery of trees, the collection of etchings in That Which Connects Us… examines those networks as an analogy of our interpersonal relationships.
