Hai Zhang's Monologue series observes the history of the Catskill forests as a site of intervention, where land is cleared and trees are trained. Zhang cuts into photographs printed on paper to create each unique work, alluding to the violence dealt to the landscape in the pursuit of human desire. This work incorporates an unknown community voice in the form of typewritten text, sourced by the artist from a community submission box in the local library. The final piece is presented in a frame made by the artist.
