Hello @greengalletti. Wow! Those sculptural artworks are truly impressive. And it's also fascinating to witness struggling trees being transformed into artistic works as a form of rebirth for their otherwise decaying conditions. Aside from the sculpture of Follil Mapu Mew by sculptor Emanuel Martínezf, what other outdoor exhibit would you consider your favorite masterpiece and why?

According to my taste and to continue with this theme of sculptures made with the trunk and branches of trees, the best I have seen is the Carved Forest a few kms from this Plaza Pagano in El Bolson (Rio Negro, Patagonia, Argentina).
It is a whole forest that was burned in one of the many malicious fires of this beloved Andean Region (they do it to keep these lands that are fiscal, that is to say, they have no owner).
A group of sculptors from all over the world decided to transform these burnt trees into sculptures. The work they have done is truly impressive.
International meetings of sculptors have been held in 1998, 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2010. In each of these meetings, carvings were made, which can be seen on a moderately difficult walk. In total there are 50 sculptures.
I intend to do a post about it later on.
Best regards @storiesoferne.
Oh, amazing! I'm truly curious about that rejuvenated forest of sculptures and carvings, and that would surely make for an excellent publication. I look forward to that indeed. Thank you for your comprehensive feedback. Best wishes @greengalletti. 😀
