Artwork description: Anchored in a single ancient weeping willow, this work explores arboreal temporality and environmental memory. Using pâte de verre to capture the draping fragility of its branches and frottage to record the diameter and bark textures, the work creates both fragile impressions and monumental records. Together these gestures invite a sensual, embodied encounter with the willow as an ecological timekeeper. The sculpture responds to the precarity of historic urban trees while honoring this willow’s multigenerational presence. A tree of such age does not merely grow alongside us, it bears witness across centuries. This more-than-human resilience challenges linear, anthropocentric ideas of life and continuity. By suspending fragile casts of its branches, the installation becomes a fragmentary canopy: a memorial to the vanishing of urban giants, and a celebration of this willow’s endurance. The work asks us to reflect on what we inherit from nature, and what may be lost if we fail to listen to this ancient presence.
