Tree-construction

[Goldman]

Does this Signify anything to you?
More of a sculpture than a photo, but ohwell

[Psypher]

That's pretty cool, looks like some architectural design you'd see in front of big corps. :P

You did the wood design right?

[MinorThreat]

I think it'd be a lot more compelling of a photo if you did a little post-production in photoshop.

[Goldman]

Yep, it was not easy to make.
But what I am really interested to find out is: what do people think this means?
How do you interpret this image?
any thoughts?

I agree. The Photo is kind of half assed. And with a Photoshop alteration I could develop the meaning a MUCH more.

I don't know how to word it...

Recyclying? Man can restore 'nature' with effort, but not to the greatest extent?

Yeah,
This is REALLY close to the my intended interpretation.
But in hindsight, I feel it symbolizes more.

let's see if i got this...

First the destruction of nature is obvious due to the fact that there's a forest in the background of the picture. The obvious statement of the structure was as Psypher said: a reconstruction nature. The greater statment is the use of wood taken from forest (let's speculate) to recreate the "Tree". It kind of makes you ask yourself what purpose was served in cutting down the trees when i'm making another one "grow" in the same place there use to be one.

I think a better statement would have been a tree made from metal of some kind. It would raise more questions of commercialization versus nature and where the strength lies in our modern society.

Glad it made you think.
I appreciate the comments.
And mans reconstruction of nature
is definitely what I was going for.
In hindsight I guess I thought of this
in terms of the “Family Tree”.

Huh....cool. I barely understand what Fade said But I like the sculpture.
