The video explores the dynamic nature of trees by using them to create art, revealing their movement. This concept is applied to prisons, suggesting that static institutions can change. Initiatives in prisons include science lectures and conservation projects, promoting movement and change. Even in Supermax facilities, nature imagery is introduced to foster calmness. The broader message is that static entities, like grief or racism, can also change.
