I found this leaf in the middle of Lewis Quad. I usually think of leaves as looking all the same but when I picked up this particular leaf, I realized that it also resembles the shape of a Christmas tree, which drew my attention in a positive way, bringing back fond memories of family, joy and happiness that revolves around Christmas trees during the Holiday season. Normally, I would not regard a leaf on the ground as a piece of art. However, that does not mean that it cannot resemble something more meaningful that what it is originally. The fact that a simple leaf can trigger such fond memories makes it something that deserves my attention, despite the fact that it is not technically or usually considered art.
