This bulbous sculptural object belongs to the Lebensbaum project, which translates as Tree of Life. Turned from oak, the piece tapers gently towards the top and features pronounced core cracks that are partially secured with dovetail joints. Fine vertical fissures appear in the lower section, while the surface is defined by a parallel grooved texture. It measures 59 cm in height.
