Blue Trees: Environmental Installation Downtown Pensacola was transformed with the Blue Trees: Environmental Installation, a surreal exhibit highlighting the importance of trees globally. Artist Konstantin Dimopoulos used eco-friendly materials to paint the trees blue. (Nelson Hicks)
Blue Trees: Environmental Installation “We’ve created a Dr. Seuss surreal environment that says ‘I speak for the trees, I speak for the trees, I speak for the trees because the trees have no tongue,’” Dimopoulos said. “All of the trees in the Amazon and thousands of miles that you don’t see that are disappearing, have no way to say “Hey, what about us?’ So we’re trying to get the city trees to make some noise so that you’re aware of this happening. Because once those forests go, breathing is going to be a lot more difficult.” (Nelson Hicks)
