The ‘Sustainability’ sculpture fits seamlessly into the ARTWALK in Lech and addresses one of the most pressing issues of our time: the ecological footprint. The rough, rusty surface of the metallic tree structure (made of Corten steel) stands in symbolic contrast to the shiny stainless-steel elements that adorn the tree, pointing to the consequences of human intervention in nature. These contrasts create space for many interpretations, ranging from destruction to hope for change.
The question of the future of our planet and our responsibility cannot be answered in one simple answer – just like the 6.5 metre-high artwork itself, which encourages the viewer to pause and reflect on their role in this complex structure.
