Stainless steel, Kaunas (Lithuania) 2023
The work is dedicated to the enterprising and nature-loving man Aryunas Kinskis, who died of a serious illness at a young age. One of his last wishes was that after his death, his loved ones would erect a sculpture similar to the Turu Street Planter in the green area in the yard of his company. The mountain ash was chosen by his wife and children. The work invites us to think about the nature of man – what we organize in this world and how we live, what mark we leave behind. Humans are like a fleeting, transparent construct dependent on the biodiversity of the environment to pass on life. Not only to the next human generation, but also to nature on a larger scale. Although we consider ourselves important, we depend on the well-being of a million other beings. We, as humans, will disappear and so will our traces at some point, but if our life is a creation in harmony with nature, then it supports the continuation of life and new traces can form in the traces.
