The House That Is a Tall Tree emerges from a reflection on the need for collective action that integrates conservation, emissions reduction, and education as drivers of cultural transformation.
 

The mural invites viewers to recognize local species and strengthen relationships of care with the environment, highlighting Bogotá’s tall trees as homes and biological corridors that sustain multiple forms of life within the city’s ecological network. The work thus proposes an ethic of attention and respect toward other species, recognizing trees as living sanctuaries that connect territories and communities.
 

Its design revolves around a series of twelve trees represented from the perspective of a very low observer, positioned just a few centimeters from the trunk and looking upward—a point of view close to that of a small child or a dog, and unusual for an adult.
 

The tree species represented include walnut, urapán, higuerón, aguacatillo, arboloco, Tequendama rubber tree, and silver yarumo. Without any correspondence of scale to the trees, drawings of birds, insects, mammals, flowers, fruits, and lichens are distributed along the wall, all belonging to species that inhabit Bogotá’s tall trees.
 

Conceptually, the work connects to the city’s network of urban reserves, wetlands, parks, medians, courtyards, green spaces, gardens, and balconies, forming a network-home inhabited by multiple species and used by them to live and move throughout the city.
