Silent woods endure,
Charred bark sheds in ashen winds—
Life breathes in darkness.

Inspired by a visit to the burned area of Bohemian Switzerland National Park in the Czech Republic, the bark of the trees, like skin, serves as a shield against natural crises, many of which are caused by human activity. The bark of the ponderosa pine is used as a conductive material, with parts covered in charcoal from burnt trees retrieved from the forest. Each line is connected to an Arduino pin that plays a tone based on the conductivity of the bio-materials.
