Associated Artworks

The sculpture showcases a miniature scene of delicate trees with leafless branches inside three adjoining rectangular frames. The trees have thin, wiry limbs. The boxes are lined up horizontally, creating a panoramic view of the forest scene. The frames are black, and the artwork within each box seems to be composed of a translucent material, allowing a soft, monochrome effect of grayscale tones. The sculpture gives the illusion of multiple layers.
