I had walked past this tree several times hiking around this island and seen it from the window of my room. Maybe it was smaller than the other trees or maybe it was because I was distracted by the beautiful sea behind it but I hadn’t really paid much attention to it. And then the sun illuminated it and I saw its beauty. I think sometimes that the most important job of an artist is simply to pay attention.
