I remember growing up and climbing trees as a child; they were my haven when I needed space. The trees were a place where I felt closest to myself. I always felt a strong connection to them from a young age, without understanding why. I also recall my mother telling me about her childhood in the jungles of Guatemala, where she would swing on the branches of the trees and the jungle was her playground. I deeply resonated with her childhood joy and connection with the trees.
