.u’re #tree within a tree

:have u ask urself if there is life inside an old tree? me not. till today. therefore, what better way to appreciate nature and d wonders of life than with a simply amazing art sculpture like this? 🙂

I just saw this amazing work from d Italian artist Giuseppe Penone who tries to get at d core of d trunk and there, as in a hidden universe to reveal d babe, d ancient beginning of d life of a tree.

.this amazing work is part of his exhibition “The Hidden Life Within“ (2012) for which he come up with d piece, he took a massive tree trunk and carved it away, ring by ring, to show off d tree’s earliest self.

Tree of 12 Metres was made by scraping away the wood from a felled tree, which had first been roughly sawn into a beam, to reveal its internal structure of narrow core and developing branches. Penone’s aim was to return the tree to the form it had had at an earlier stage of its growth, making visible natural processes which are normally hidden.

.d result is remarkable, showing off where d larger tree came from, and how it changed with years of growth. this idea brings us back to d essence, d very foundation of our growth, our connection with nature, our consciousness that in each of us lies fragile, gentle soul piece that keep us protected from d external influences.
