Ghost Tree” is a sacred vessel of quiet hope. Polished stone spheres hover like lost wishes or dreams deferred, suspended by delicate arcs that mimic the gesture of reaching or letting go. It is a reflection on impermanence, memory, and the weight of what we leave behind. Ghost Tree is also a meditation on memory, decay, and transformation. Once living, this dead juniper now bears polished stone "fruit" suspended on arcing wires, an unnatural bloom from a natural form. The tree explores cycles of loss and beauty, rooted in the physical yet reaching for the unknowable, and asks viewers to consider what lingers after life, and how beauty can be born from stillness.

Or you can just say its a dead tree with unnatural branches and fruit!
