‘Grief’ is the top of a decaying tree, left on a clear-cut. In September 2019, a family forest (now ‘The Plot’) had to be cleared after a devastating spruce bark infestation. The forester left three tree trunks for birds to sit on. One of the trunks developed itself into a face, and became the face of ecological grief.

The video is based on a photogrammetric digital model, made from photos taken Dec. 17, 2020 at 51° 24‘ 49.8” N 5° 39‘ 19.9” E (The Plot).

The model – as a .glb file (see below) – was turned into an NFT, with all primary proceedings benefiting laststandforforests.com, an organization helping to protect Canada’s severely threatened old growth rainforests. The work raised over 1000 Canadian dollars.
