The central theme of the project is the historical reappraisal of a historically significant oak tree that stood for 86 years in the backyard of the childhood home of high jumper Cornelius Johnson in Los Angeles. The project, which combines a wide range of disciplines including photography, sculpture, literature, and music, deals with questions  of memory, the preservation of memory, and rediscovery.
