"Tree's Memories"

From the annual ring, I feel memories that the tree has watched animals for many generaitons. I want to express what the tree has seen in it's long lifetime. I see tree as a mediator between mankind and animals, and I am careful at handling them, so they can convey my thoughts through my work, and can talk about the animals.
