A quiet stretch of Fort Greene Park becomes a shared rhythm in Family Tree: The Chosen Path. Families scatter across the landscape, relishing a lush summer day. The pace is unhurried, not bound by any obligations, but held together by a collective calm. The trees lean gently above them, cascading a sense of ease through the air.

In these mundane moments; a simple walk, a stroller pushed along a leaf-strewn path, a child climbing a tree, we often find our purest form of happiness. The cumulative joy of everyday life, fleeting and familiar, outweighs the thrill of spectacle. Here, the ordinary becomes sacred.
