Split tree, dead double trunk, structural rebar, paracord, and mirrors, 2026
Dimensions variable
Twins is a site-specific, permanent installation nestled in the woods at the I-Park Foundation, exploring themes of doubleness, twin nature, reflection, and the repetition of two. The work establishes a direct dialogue between two distinct wooden structures: a living tree that splits into two massive trunks and a dead double log resting at its base. Intersecting these forms is an undulating framework of hot pink structural rebar wrapped in paracord, supporting a vibrant, hand-woven net that climbs between the living split trunks. On the ground, two large mirrors lay embedded in the forest floor, echoing the dual nature of the trees by fracturing and repeating the landscape. By bridging the living split tree and its dead counterpart through high-visibility weaving and sharp reflections, the installation forces a constant visual looping—a reminder of symmetry, loss, and repetition within the natural environment.
