Laila Demashqiyyeh Located on the 2nd Circle - When it comes to earth, we often look to others for the solutions; we rarely think to look into ourselves. This tree was made to show us the key to saving the environment, which is why it is riddled with mirrors. It reminds us that we are the solution to all environmental problems and that, before looking to others, we must begin by changing ourselves. By making subtle, constructive changes in our lifestyles, we create currents of change that eventually radiate throughout the entire world. |

Abeer Zoumot & Noor Issa Located in the Thaqafeh St. - We wanted to use the tree as a medium to express the wishes and thoughts of passer-bys, as a wish tree, in hopes of having some nature related wishes. Pens are hung from it so people can use to write their wishes, asking them to "please dont steal me". It is also more of an experiment of what will happen when a clean white nicely done tree is put on the street for a month. We predicted that the result will resemble how people are seriously damaging the environment. Therefore the hypothesis of people's destruction to nature will be proven to viewers when seeing the end result. Lets see its condition in a month! |

Yasmin Asfour Located on the 4th Circle - This tree portrays a bright perspective to what could have been presumed to be an unsafe mix. An artistic combination of shattered glass and ripped fabric through a creative lens. |

Nizar Abu Halaweh, Adel Qaddoumi & Afnan Barqawi Located on Khalda Circle - our tree concept was that we create from non-Recyclable material a message of recycling, we asked all our friends and shopkeepers to give us nylon bags in different colors as much as they could, and cover the tree with them resembling leaves on a tree, but in the same time we used green nylon bags to create the arrows of the recycling symbol that could be seen from any perspective as the different screens of the tree completed the symbol depending on the viewrs angle. it was a fun collaborative work. |

Ibrahim Khorma Located in The National Gallery of Arts Garden - Wrapping my tree with medical bandages and the drip stand, connecting the tube to the tree, presenting the idea that our trees in Jordan are either dead/chopped off, or being harmed in a way that is causing their death. |

Mohammad Alaeddin Located on the Dakhliyyeh Circle - Destructive Construction. Our irresponsible way of life is destroying the Earth from the top down. |
 |
Ibraheem Shaheen Located on The Dakhliyyeh Circle - I used organic materials such as leaves, and material that pollutes our environment such plastic bags and paper to show the people how trees are directly effected by all the waste and pollution, and i used the colors to show the effect of the pollution on our trees and how they are no longer green and images will be posted on it soon to further elaborate on my concept. |

Amal Serhan Located on The Waha Circle - Escaping to future that doesn't exist. |
 |
Sonia Twal Located on Carrefour Circle - My tree is full of life & Bright Colors; it's like the memory of childhood each one of us hides at the back of his head. Nature is supposed to be pure & innocent of all crimes committed against it. |
 Khuloud El Jamal Located on Carrefour Circle-My Tree was designed to representthe effect of pollution on plants, so half of my plant was exposed to (smog) air pollution were smoke, water vapor, and chemicals take place on air to produce an acid rain which is harmful for all living things especially plants so this half was gild with aluminum foil then covered with pale colors of green to represent sick plants. While the other half takes place in a healthy environment out of cities, having healthy branches, fresh buds, bright green; live and give life to all. |

Mike V Derderian Located on the Business Park Circle - I wanted to reflect earth's anguish by creating a nightmarish tree. Using spray paint I created my signature spatial landscapes upon which I collaged personas [ink on paper] that symbolized different elements. The weeping lady is earth, the three grim reapers are global warming, Neptune represents the melting polar ice caps and the lady on the drowning globe humans, and the departing spacecraft with the two cosmonauts is the finale that we all want to avoid. Mike V. Derderian, a Homo sapien, a writer and a comic artist trying to get a hold of a banana in a world governed by apes. |

Hiam Al Huniti Located on Kilo Circle - My Green Art tree which I call " Make a Wish Tree "represents the natural elements people can't live without through its colors. (Orange for earth, Blue for Water, Green for plants).. making a wish and tying a ribbon for the wish to become true wont be satisfying without take care of those three elements. |

Alaa' Baghdadi Located on Kilo Circle |

Galia Mango Located on the 8th Circle - I used chains, ropes and locks to decorate my tree in an attempt to illustrate, what i feel, is humanity's hold on nature. The idea that nature is held captive to the whim of man whether it's eradicating a forest to build a sprawling complex, pollution in all its forms, and so on. |
 |
Mohammad Abu Haltam Located on the Business Park Circle - The concept was to try and connect between the effect of plastic waste (Water Bottle Caps) that is originally associated with water and the meaning on life for humans, except that it is at the same time still associated with the dark and dead side of the tree. The black part indicates the dead part, the green indicates the remaining parts that is still alive, and the orange is the connection. On an extra note, 300 bottle caps where collected from only 3 streets in the Capital Amman. |
 |
Mai Masri Located on the 7th Circle - Going green doesn't always mean saving trees of the environment. I tried connecting with the sea life in Jordan. Its rather a topic we don't touch upon. The Blue represents the sea and the fish are colored to represent the various colors that lays beneath the water. Lets color Jordan. :) |
 |
Yassmeen Tukan Located on the 6th circle - Following the theme of being environmentally friendly, I decided to use magazine paper to create an interesting collage. Sharp colors are to reflect t he freshness and a healthy environment that I'm looking for. :) |
 |
Natasha Dahdaleh Located on the 6th Circle - One of my favorite quotes is "There is a pleasure in the pathless woods; there is rapture on the lonely shore; there is society, where none intrudes, by the deep sea and music in its roar; I love not man the less but Nature more..." by Lord Byron. I wish to save the environment by raising awareness through creating public art. |
 |
Lubna Juqqa Located on the 5th Circle - My tree represents the mythological mother earth ("Gaia" in the ancient Greek Mythology ), staring with regret at her people who abused her. Faces represent facing the facts, but the looks and the eyes are to deliver the denial attitude most people live on a daily basis towards our mother earth. |
 |
Nahla Tabbaa Located on Abdoun Circle - I aimed to use organic patterns and refreshing colors, as well as embedded animals as subtly as possible to remind our audience that trees house many different species, and are an integral part of our life. The overall scenes formed resemble aerial views of a lush environment which run parallel to the functions of trees. |

Sarah Hatahet Located on the 3rd Circle |
 |
Sarah Rashdan Located on the 3rd Circle - my tree symbolizes a school blackboard that has the phrase "i will not cut down the trees" written on it in the form of a punishment. |
 |
Muna Amareen Located on the 2nd Circle - People lack critical knowledge on the environment.The project brings some visual statics into the public. I have written facts, drown rough sketches and diagrams so that the audience can interact with it more. |
 |
Alaa' Dweik Located on Paris Circle - The idea of harmony between nature and music and a girl are perfectly complemented by attention to aesthetics and beauty care for the environment. My tree basically shows how those three key elements complement each other. |
 |
| Shamekh Bluwi Located on the 1st Circle - My tree represents the treasures of jordan in the form of goddesses. The goddesses are : the Black Iris, the Senai Rosefinch, the Oryx, the olive tree and the red poppy flower. |
 |
Joanna Blin Located on the 7th Circle - This is not a tree. Nor is it abroken tree. It is an industrially processed dough, made out of trees and turned into a board thanks to generous use of fossil fuels, that was then given a shape identifiable as the representation of a tree by human eyes only, its makers' intention being to remind its human viewers of the value of actual trees, giving the artist in front of such an object no other choice than to remind those same viewers that this is not more than a tree. |
