Man and the tree: May 2009

Tree man - Epidermodysplasia verruciformis

Dede Kosawa is one of the world's most extraordinary people. He lives in a remote village in Indonesia with his two children, trying to care for them.
Dede, a former fisherman, has an incredible skin condition: he has root like structures growing out of his body - branches that can grow up to 5cm a year and which protrude from his hands and feet, and welts covering his whole body.

Check out the VIDEO.
And another VIDEO about his diagnosis and possible treatment.

"My heart is glad, my heart is high
With sudden ecstasy;
I have given back, before I die,
Some thanks for every lovely tree
That dead men grew for me"
~ Pablo Neruda
