Armour
Steel, 70*70*70cm, 2024 - ongoing
Three steel sculptures were installed at a final tram stop in Zagreb, each encasing and protecting a single acorn. The structures create the conditions for a tree to germinate in an environment where natural sprouting would otherwise be impossible. As the oak grows, sections of the steel will gradually be removed so the sculpture will recede as the living organism takes over.
Of the three acorns installed, one sprouted in 2024 and will hopefully continue growing. The remaining two sculptures will be reused with new acorns in the following year, perhaps in a new location.
