Abstract: 
Through the use of symbolic, photographic representation, I portray the conditions of young immigrants adapting to their new environment. As the world becomes centered around the built environment, it is relevant to explore the elements within—especially transplanted trees—as they metaphorically suggest immigrants who move from one place to another. Further focusing on young transplants, it is possible to reference the children of immigrants who were involuntarily moved to a new environment. By utilizing anthropomorphism, the transplanted trees become analogous to young immigrants and allow expression through symbolic representation.
