Tune 5 (Walking Tree)

This sculptural object reads like a found relic: a split timber column whose rough grain and warm umber stain evoke a body marked by time, while the sudden intrusion of gilded, spring-like elements introduces a nervous, almost mechanical pulse. The composition hinges on tension—between organic trunk and engineered prosthesis, between the vertical serenity of the “wood” and the lateral thrust of the disc-like appendage that feels both tool and ear, instrument and wound. Light skims the ridges of the surface, turning texture into narrative, as if the work stages an intimate negotiation between resilience and repair. In its compact totemic scale, it becomes a quiet allegory of modern hybridity: nature sutured to industry, standing upright despite its fracture.
