I Once Was a Tree
So old! So much life, and love. Now drifting, mixing memories float to the surface, urgently, and then elusively. What was I going to say?… Norah finds light in the darkness of not knowing through her son Arthur …I can’t remember… Together they search in those hard to reach places for things you never thought you could lose.

Solastalgia
The main character for the work is a tree spirit that takes the form of a saddened old man. The man awakes in despair in the aftermath of a fire (conceived prior to the recent bushfires but highly relevant). The man feels the loss of the trees and animals but gradually there are some signs of new life in the form of new plants and a bird.
