Deep in the forest or right next to a walkway – these wooden sculptures are increasingly stopping passersby and stirring the imagination. This particularly impressive one depicts a tree with human facial features, hands thoughtfully leaning on the stump and – an owl, a symbol of wisdom, silently following it.
Artistic installations in nature are an increasingly popular way to connect people with their surroundings, but also to awaken emotion. This sculpture is not just decoration – it suggests that nature too has its own thoughts, questions and maybe even – answers.
It is not known who the author of this particular sculpture is, but it is clear that deep reflection lies behind it. Perhaps that is precisely the point: to make us pause, smile and – at least for a moment – stop rushing.
Because who knows, maybe this very tree knows something that we have not yet learned.
