In this work of art you can see an abstracted hollow shape of a human being in the cut surfaces of the tree trunk. It looks as if someone has left their mark in the tree. Try leaning against the cutting surface. Maybe you can fit into the mold and become one with the tree trunk.

Beautiful and interesting work of art at Ars Natura, when we were there the wind was whistling in our ears.

»Close to nature«

The abstracted hollow form of a person has been worked into both cut surfaces, which are marked by the traces of the chainsaw, as if a person had left his imprint there and then left this place. The surface treatment is deliberately rough in order to maintain a lively play of light and shadow. By placing the two halves opposite each other at the edge of the path, they define a space. "When they arrive at the place, (the hiker) recognizes the hollow form - the abandoned place - and at the same time feels the desire to lean against the hollow form in order to become one with the tree again. The person who is so closely connected to nature and a part of it has left the tree that gives him life and distanced himself from nature. On the long journeys to "time out", many people have forgotten that the valuable "time out" in the life-giving and energy-giving nature can often be so close and can be experienced in a resource-saving and beautiful way" (Andreas Tollhopf).
