Inspired by William Blake's poem "A Poison Tree," this artwork explores the destructive power of suppressed anger and the inevitable consequences it bears. Drawing from the narrative tapestries of 15th-century Gobelins and integrating the complexity of 3D printed structures, it bridges historical and contemporary modes of expression.
The artwork was exhibited at Høstutstillingen in Oslo in 2024.
