Disobedient Nature.
Search for, find, document an example of nature refusing to yield to or blending itself into the constructions of modern man. Examples should document situations where man has put up some restraint for nature and nature has disobeyed. While trees or other permanent plants are preferable, a basic example would be plants that grow in the cracks of the sidewalk. (reasoning: The sidewalk was put in and grass was moved to the side to section off nature. The plants in the cracks break the rules, and everyone loves a rule breaker. . .right? rebel with a cause!)
I've read about/seen pictures of some temples in the jungle. The trees seem to grow wherever they want and all over the temple. This is obviously fine because after all, it is the jungle. It is nice, however, when you see situations where trees or other plants have grown in similar ways in cities. This doesn't mean an architect was nice enough to let a tree stay and therefore built a building around it. I’m talking about situations where nature has defied man by growing (preferably permanently) in an "undesirable" location or way.
A tree in my neighborhood inspired this task. The tree has engulfed a chain-link fence. The fence now goes through the middle of the tree. This makes the tree and the fence inseparable. Pictures of my tree to follow.
