Imagine a world without trees. Wood is so hard to find that it becomes more precious than gold! In retrospect, DEFORESTATION (listen to our screams) is a sacred relic that withstood time. It is a painful reminder of how our planet was before trees ceased to exist; a bloodcurdling wail that the human race didn't take heed of.

The painting is basically a collage of various wood and a partially burnt photograph of a forest juxtaposed on each other.
