A tree marked by nature and a human marked by its life meet and seek a balance. What to shape and what to leave and accept. Under bark and layers of protection, searching to unveil the vulnerability in strength — the strength in our vulnerability. Further behind masks in search of the genuine and true in every matter, it appears, unique and universal, the shape of the globe, of the seed, the seed of new life — the core.

“Jeg arbeider i møte med tre som har båret tid. Motstand, spor og stillhet ligger i kroppen av materialet. Når jeg skaver meg innover, åpnes noe – i treet og i meg. Formen som trer frem er aldri et svar, men en erkjennelse av det varige, det sårbare, det som består.”
— Marianne Broch
