The Wishing Tree transforms discarded Pringle cans—symbols of consumption and waste — into a sculptural vessel for collective imagination and care. Each heart-shaped tag hanging from its branches holds a handwritten wish gathered from Baltimore residents — expressions of hope, longing, and shared vision for the city’s future. The work emerges from Rejjia Camphor's ongoing project Sister Stream Catcher, an environmental justice and healing arts initiative focused on restoring Baltimore’s natural spaces through community stewardship and creative ritual. Like the waterways it honors, The Wishing Tree collects what the community offers — its dreams, its grief, and its resolve — and transforms them into a living archive of collective care which is why it will be accompanied by blue braided yarn and paper mache water tears of grief.


​At the opening reception, attendees had the chance to add their own wishes. The artist led us in an exercise of writing and reflection.
