The Song of Trees is Julia Casesnoves's project that centres around trees as the main subject, exploring them as connectors within nature. Developed in city parks, the project reflects a contemplative practice influenced by Ecological Aesthetics. It emphasises the interconnectedness of living beings, inviting a deeper understanding of the relationships that create beauty and life itself.

Julia Casesnoves: The Song of Trees is an ongoing project composed of different series in which trees are the main subject. City parks are the perfect ordinary setting for developing my contemplative practice, which has become my photographic practice over the years. Trees rediscovered as the great Nature’s connectors through a poetic glance and venturing myself into the practice of Ecological Aesthetics, defined by David George Haskell as “the ability to perceive beauty in the relationship sustained and embodied within a concrete part of the community of life. A step towards belonging in all its dimensions”. The Song of Trees speaks to us of a community of living beings, a network of relationships, and the experience of beauty as a forgetting of the self and a merging with the totality of which we are a part. Therefore, listening to trees is learning to inhabit the relationships that give origin, substance and beauty to life. This particular series is called "Beech Tree".
