Dead trees and art may be an unusual combination, but the pairing is part of a new display in New York's Madison Square Park designed to highlight a particular phenomenon of climate change: the loss of forests around the world

that when Madison Square Park Conservancy invited her to create a piece of temporary artwork, she wanted to bring a ghost forest to Manhattan to raise awareness of the"huge loss that is going on that people might not be aware of."

The 49 Atlantic white cedar trees used in the display come from the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, where they became victims of saltwater inundation. Lin said she was inspired by her late husband and their time in southwestern Colorado, where they spent their summers, to create the piece. She said forests there are killed off by beetles because the winters are too mild.

"One season you'll see a little bit of rust on the tops of the trees. By next season, an entire forest can have died off.", it's forest fires. In the East Coast, it's rising seas, saltwater inundation."
