The starting point for this project was the dream to build an own boat. With a few drawings I've looked in the park what trees I could use to build a ship and went to the city hall of Maastricht to get a chop permit. For twenty wooden parts, I made signs and hung them on trees. During the exhibition a trailor with information for visitors was in the middle of the park. Here I had hung the drawings and the now rejected cutting permit. The display of this plan provoked unexpected outrage from neighbors who did not like it that I found my dream in 'their' beautiful old trees. During the exhibition one sign disappeared.
