A single branch is meticulously crafted from the ashes of over
10,000 unique tree species.
Silva represents forests from every corner of the Earth—ranging
arctic taigas. The artwork encapsulates the immensity of nature in
one form, a single branch. It embodies both loss and resilience in its
delicate form, capturing the fragile balance between nature's
vulnerability and its enduring vitality. The charcoal serves as a
distilled memory of the forest, embodying its essence in a
concentrated form. The branch, gilded with ash, has been collected
by the artist from the first forest on Earth, further deepening the
connection to the primordial roots of nature.
