Dai’s 2010 Sculpture: The Mighty Acorn

‘From the tiny acorn, the mighty Oak will grow’ This old saying is the inspiration for this sculpture. A tiny Oak sapling will be planted in the tip of the carved Acorn – with luck one day it will be a mighty Oak and the mighty acorn, tiny in comparison. It speaks of our dualistic relationship with ‘nature’ and of our own lives, fleeting as they are in comparison to the Oak.”
