Behind the Build

The piece began as a digital blueprint, where every element of the composition was individually designed, scaled, and assigned to a specific hardwood species.

More than 300 unique components were precision-cut and carefully assembled by hand, transforming fifteen distinct wood species into a single unified landscape.
