Mineo Mizuno presents a site-specific sculpture crafted from fallen timber gathered in the Sierra Nevada forests. The work explores the fragility of Earth’s ecosystem, highlighting both the destruction of forests and their potential for regeneration. Utilizing yakisugi (shou sugi), a traditional Japanese method of wood preservation, the charred surfaces of the reclaimed timbers symbolize fire’s destructive and transformative power.
