This project was realized as part of a two-day land art workshop led by Natalia Lisova. Created intuitively, the work uses only natural materials within a natural environment.At its core is a tree, weakened and stripped of large sections of its bark — likely due to neglect.

In an attempt to heal it, the artist applied clay, gathered from a nearby pond, and reattached fallen pieces of bark. This act serves as a symbolic gesture—an urgent attempt not only to mend nature’s wounds but also to heal the harm humans inflict upon one another.
