Land Art Project

This tree once was full of life and now it appears to be at the end of its lifecyle.  The other plants have not been affected by whatever this tree has. Its roots are exposed and the outer bark has been shed like a second skin. There is no color or sign of life existent - the branches are fragile with every drop of moisture withdrawn.  What happened here?  There is a brush near full of color and life. The tree's roots are outstretched towards the shrub as if reaching for the nutrients it needs so desperately. 

    I chose this subject because it stood out to me. I really enjoy looking at trees shape, size of truck, and the vast limbs that stretch out and their colorful blooms that decorate our streets and parks. Also, the fact that I see life and death next to each other reminds me about life in general. All things that live do die, maybe some earlier than others, tragically.
