X is a Tree

Eamon O'Kane & Lilibeth Cuenca Rasmussen, 2023

X is a Tree has text by Lilibeth Cuenca Rasmussen, with drawings by Eamon O’Kane, is a poetic and visually immersive exploration of identity, transformation, and the quiet interconnectedness of life. Rasmussen’s text weaves language and observation into an experimental meditation on the self and its entanglement others and with the natural world, while O’Kane’s drawings provide a delicate counterpoint, rendering trees and organic forms with a sensibility that is at once architectural and alive. Together, words and images form a dialogue that is lyrical, intimate, and reflective, inviting readers to contemplate the fluid boundaries between human experience, love and the living environment around us.
