Tree tents, by Artist Dre Wapenaar

Dre Wapenaar doesn't understand how one moment you can be neighbors,and the next, enemies at war. He doesn't understand how people can talk about the beauty of vulnerability, yet never allow themselves to be truly exposed. He doesn't understand, and so ... Dre Wapenaar makes tents.

"Tents are a result of my quest to find out how groups ofpeople and individual persons relate," says Rotterdam, Netherlands-based Wapenaar. "Tents are, with their universal language, an excellent means to understand at least something of the chemistry between people. No matter what culture or background you're coming from, a tent is a common universal home."
