          The idea for this project was to create a map for something that isn't a place. I decided to create a literal road map or a tree. I wanted to highlight the lack of nature in highly industrialized areas by showing buildings and roads replacing trees, and, in this case, becoming them.

I was thankful this assignment happened, because I really enjoyed this concept.           As a college student, or perhaps, as a person who has only recently been thrust into the throngs of adulthood, I am left with an ever-present consciousness of time and its constant passing. I am nearly halfway through my undergraduate education, yet it feels like I just started this year.
