Gaia is a sculpture that seeks to re-enchant the natural world. I was fascinated by the shape of the piece of wood that I found while walking in the woods. The piece of wood is hollow and has a hole at the end that resembles a eye. I burned the inside of the wood do give it more depth.

A simple iron rod goes through the piece of wood and clings to the tree with two semi-circles on both ends. The weight of the piece of wood fixes the iron structure to the tree. This structure does not harm the tree and can be removed by sliding it upwards.
