White flags are used in war situations to surrender, here they are used in a different way, saying that if “trees would surrender” “nature would surrender”. Us humans should however be the ones to surrender, because soon we will extinct if we don’t take care of the nature and environment in the world. This is a message to all, not specifically only the ones that cut down the trees. That would be very naïve. Deforestation is a worldwide problem and one of the many examples how destructive you and I are.

This artwork will stay on site for a while and show itself to the people who enjoy nature but it is also made for the villagers on the other side of the river, maybe wondering what the flagpoles and flags are doing there. It would be great if the art work would create a new dialogue between all players in this situation.
