Lisa Niedermeyer - Roots of Buena Vista Park

Inspired by tree root systems as symbol for chosen family (an alternative to family tree branches that follow only bloodlines). Root systems are assymetrical, sometimes unseen and support the growth of the tree. Buena Vista Park is San Francisco’s oldest public park and holds special meaning for many.
