Casted in bronze, designed to mimic the appearance of wood logs split in half. The tops of these logs are intricately adorned with spiral patterns. This artistic choice draws a direct connection to the scientific method of dendrochronology.

Dendrochronology, the study of tree rings, allows scientists to uncover detailed information about a tree’s history and health, and more importantly, about the climatic and geographical conditions during its lifetime. Through this method, we can make assessments and predictions about the environment. The sculptures serve as a metaphorical and physical representation of how we categorize time and understand the influence of nature on our perception of it.

One particularly evocative piece in the series features a bronze tree trunk with growth rings that mimic the colors and stripes of the directoire style, famously associated with the suits of Robespierre. This piece not only symbolizes the passage of time but also connects historical and natural timelines in a visually compelling manner.

Adding to the whimsical and thought-provoking nature of the installation, woodpeckers are depicted as time travelers. These birds, often associated with the passage of time through their rhythmic pecking, further emphasize the theme of time exploration and the interconnection between nature and our temporal understanding.
