Rebirth
Dimensions: 27 × 10 × 22 in
Weight: 18 lbs
This piece is crafted from a preserved outer section of a three-hundred-year-old oak tree. All the inner wood had long since turned to dust, leaving only the resilient outer shell shaped by time and nature. Its flowing contours hint at the form of a fantastical creature emerging from the past, brought to life by the warm glow of candlelight.
The structure of the head, the relief, the natural lines and openings are untouched nature’s work. The surface is treated with wax and subtle gilding, revealing the depth of the ancient oak and emphasizing its sculptural plasticity.
