Michael Aram's limited edition sculptures are handmade artistic explorations inspired by objects and ideas that capture Michael's imagination. These sculptures are limited editions of 500 pieces each, and each one is individually crafted so that no two are ever exactly alike.
Inspired by the idea of tress, this sculpture is a metaphor for life and the connection between Heaven and Earth. A familiar motif of Aram's, drawing on his Armenian heritage, the traditional crosses are embellished with vines and leaves as symbols of life, renewal, and vibrancy. Even as a tree grows old, it bears fruit that contains its very essence, and in this way, becomes immortal.
"When I was young, I visited Armenia during the apricot season. It was during this time, while learning about the country's rich culture and history, I discovered the significance of the Tree of Life in my culture. For me, this sculpture pays tribute to my heritage and the idea of the continuity of life and perpetuity of family."
