Although many would shake their heads at the thought of humans 'interfering' with nature, artist Philippe Handford gladly accepted the challenge, this sculpture being the final result. The brackets used to hold together the pieces of tree trunk that have been sliced, are minimal, as Handford has clearly attempted to create an art piece that appears to be integrated into its surroundings through the natural curve of the trunk.
His aim was to 'evoke a sense of perpetual motion', as if perhaps highlighting the circle of nature through the idea of that which has fallen 'coming back to life' in a natural and organic manner.
