The Last Tree

At the top of the hill stands the last tree — a silent witness to time. It’s a virtual tree, so the question is whether it even exists at all. With gentle movements of your hands, you can influence the wind sweeping through the landscape, and with it, the tree’s movements. As you become the tree’s puppeteer, the seasons shift before your eyes. In silence and a dreamlike rhythm, the fragility of nature’s cycles is revealed — cycles we often pass by almost unnoticed. The project reminds us that even the smallest gestures can be part of great changes, connecting us to the world around us.
