It explores the contrast between the natural and unnatural whilst also bending concepts that surround time, scale, and material. The sculptures are meant to feel like something out of a dream with a bizarre yet familiar feel. These initially appear to be large roots or trees that are upside down with a [bronze finish](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/between-the-lightness-and-the-darkness). The space features a [large skylight](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suspended-lighting-installation) and grey walls, which are purposefully painted for this exhibition specifically. This means to give the obscure sense of time, unsure if it is day or night. The [sculptural lightning](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miror-collection) means to channel the idea or bring more longevity to an experience that usually lasts a millisecond.
