In Holiday Tree, Reynier Llanes captures a warm moment of harvest—the Poet climbing into the heart of an orange tree, surrounded by light and abundance. On the surface, it feels like a celebration of memory, ritual, and connection to the land.
But beneath the beauty, the act of picking fruit becomes something deeper—a quiet symbol of belonging, of rights lost and lands held in longing. Holiday Tree becomes both a tribute and a remembrance: of what it means to grow, to gather, and to hold on to hope in the face of loss.
