L’arbre déployé

“L’arbre déployé” (or Open Tree) is a temple. Despite its pure, circular shape, abstract patterns on its surface make it difficult to apprehend the piece at first sight, forcing the visitor to come closer and enter the exhibition space.This piece was conceived with a traditional veneer technique. This technique involves cutting a tree trunk in Small strips and joining the strips together in a mirror like effect. Every strip mirrors the other creating symmetrical shapes.
