Trees of Melbourne
A pole pierces the sky; a tree embraces it. The city’s contrasts soften at this intersection.

I looked up and forgot the noise of the traffic. What do you see when you look up?

LIZ - Acrylic on canvas, 40.6cm x 50.8cm

Lisseth was that girl in that awesome time. Fun, carefree, random, up for anything, and always in the moment. Liz was just easy to be around. This painting depicts Liz with her trademark blue hair streak and aptly expressing her personality.

I’m trying to learn how to look slower. Does this help you stop for a second?

The city tried to box it in, but the tree had other plans.

FATAL - Acrylic on canvas, 40cm x 50cm

Fatal was that kid who hung out with the "cool crowd" and just wanted to fit in. The thing is, he didn't need to try. He fit just by being himself,even if he was kinda a loveable pain in the butt 😘

Architecture that grew through wires. How did it survive this?

The Trees of Melbourne
Power lines.
Trees.
A precise urban conflict.

Trees of Melbourne
The city moves around this quietly.
Did you notice?

#HagaiErman #TheTreesOfMelbourne #MelbourneArt #UrbanNature #CityTrees #UrbanLandscape

Some trees feel like background.
This one didn’t.

Trees of Melbourne
This tree doesn’t ask to be seen.
And yet.

Trees of Melbourne
I’m interested in how trees witness cities.
What do you think they remember?

Trees of Melbourne
I don’t photograph trees as symbols.
I photograph encounters.

The Trees of Melbourne
This isn’t about nature.
It’s about looking again.

Have you noticed it before?

Trees of Melbourne
Old wooden poles echo the memory of the forests they once belonged to. Now they stand beside the living ones.

Life Shades
A gentle turn becomes a reminder of soft beginnings. Life Shades cradles that memory and lifts it into light.

Trees of Melbourne
A tree cradles a wire gently, as if protecting it. Nature never asked, but it carries the burden anyway.

Trees of Melbourne
Winter strips the branches bare, yet the wires never change clothes. Still, the tree looks more alive.

Life Shades
It hangs like a lantern, but breathes like something living. Every shift reveals a whisper of origin.

Trees of Melbourne
A branch leans toward a wire as if craving its warmth. The city’s grid becomes an accidental intimacy.

Life Shades
It sways like a mobile meant for a newborn, yet hums with adult secrets. Life Shades carries both innocence and desire.

Trees of Melbourne
Some grow straight through fences, others through memory.
Every one of them keeps teaching the city how to feel alive.

Life Shades
What looks mechanical is actually tender a choreography of hesitation.
Life Shades trembles, and for a second, you tremble with it.

The Trees of Melbourne are never still, even when the wind stops.
Their stillness hums, full of what’s been endured.
