Coconol's painting illustrates the practical and cultural significance of these trees. The trees' hollow trunks provide shelter and protection, and provision of water. The shade makes them ideal for community gatherings fostering connection. The painting's colours mirror the earthiness of the landscape, but the vibrancy lies in the detailed architecture and the people.
