This welded tree sculpture, commissioned by the Office of Sustainability for the Earth Week event at UTD, serves as a public art piece, symbolizing the enduring connection between humanity and the natural world. Inspired by the geometric compositions of Piet Mondrian, the tree emphasizes the fragility of our ecosystems and the urgent need for environmental stewardship.
Participants are invited to hang objects on the tree’s branches, turning them into a collaborative act of reflection and care for the environment. Each contribution becomes part of the tree’s evolving narrative, reinforcing the importance of collective action in addressing sustainability challenges.
As a centerpiece of Earth Week, this installation encourages viewers to reflect on their environmental impact, fostering dialogue and a shared commitment to preserving our planet for future generations.
