Branch
Salama Nasser
Metal, aluminum wire, fabric, 2023
We might think that trees create messy tangled branches, however, when observed closely, some tree branches grow in a sequenced pattern. The main trunk will grow two branches each will then stem into two more branches and the pattern will continue in this sequence. Translating this unique pattern into a sculpture, the branch-like patterns are arching downward like roots, creating a spatial environment with interplay between light and shadows reminiscent of the experience of walking under a tree. Branch explores the creation of space that prompts connection to nature and people.
