A broken branch of an oak tree is probably not given special attention by many. But for children and artists it can be the beginning of a creative journey.

an aesthetic design with a play of edges and surfaces are content enough. The sculpture is thus a refined piece of nature and invites you to enjoy the look and feel. Associations are of course allowed, but this is a matter of observation. The wood is waxed and the sculpture is mounted on a dark stone slab.
