A Living Testament to Resilience
Forest Abides: Multigenerational Trees of Snoqualmie Valley
Showing Sept 19 - Nov 30, 2025
In a world that seems to race toward irreparable loss, the forests endure. Silent witnesses to centuries of change, they stand as testament to life’s unyielding ability to regenerate, to persist, to abide. Forest Abides is not just an exhibition; it is a meditation on time itself.
Through intimate portraits of logged old-growth stumps in Snoqualmie Valley, we are invited into a story of resilience, loss, and rebirth. These “nurse stumps” are more than just survivors. They carry within them the history of the land, the scars of past wrongs, and the promise of new life rising from their ancient bodies.
Forest Abides calls on us to reflect on our place in the natural world, and to question the very systems that have brought us to the brink of environmental collapse. Through the lens of these enduring trees, we are reminded that regeneration is not just possible—it is inevitable, if we let it be.
As we stand at a crossroads, the exhibition urges us to consider: What will we choose? Will we stand idly by, as these magnificent beings disappear forever? Or will we choose to fight for their future—and our own?
The forest abides. But will we?
Join us to witness a story of endurance, interconnection, and hope.
