DescriptionThis is a stainless-steel sculpture of a crimson maple leaf plant in a round, black pot with small black rocks in the pot around the base of the plant-like sculpture. The sculpture is one larger trunk of the plant, and plants limbs which do not have any leaves, but instead small figures of human heads and faces at the ends of the branches.
