The memory tree

In 2017 I continued the project “translation“ in Rijnstate hospital with this commission by placing a tree grate around a gingko biloba (maiden hair) tree in one of the inner gardens. This grate is also made out of shapes that are based on tools from the operating room.

New walls that were installed in the hospital couldn’t sustain the 3 panels from 1995 (because of the weight). Hence, they were used in the casting of a new object.
