This project was supported by Malta Arts Fund - Project Support Grant and is part of the Spazju Kreattiv season programme. 2016-2017 arbor, Latin for 'tree', and angeîon, Greek for 'vessel’. Trees as vessels for understanding. In the context of the Maltese natural environment, and lack of it. An exploration into the pleomorphism of all that is. If an inanimate system has the potential for animate growth, isn't it, by the argument from potential, an animate system? If an inanimate system is able to support a substantial number of animate forms, are these organisms not an intricate part of the said system, arising from, and composed of, inanimate? Nature has evolved similar solutions to different challenges in individual species - which solutions, developed (arguably) independently. The final outcome is similar, if not the same. Self-similarity in all that is. Both at a macroscopic level - anatomy, morphology, and at a microscopic level - biochemistry and physiology. Thread is inhibition. Thread is interference. Thread is an impediment.
