This photograph captures a leafless tree sculpture made of polished stainless steel, emphasizing its artificial nature. The composition highlights the tree’s dynamic form, with limbs and branches arranged in a way that suggests wild, animated movement despite their rigid, metallic construction. The dramatic sky in the background adds tension and contrast, enhancing the sculpture’s lifelike presence while reinforcing its mechanical essence.
