'Il Nido' is an elegant 4-metre bronze tree drawing together three forms of representation. The trunk, a tower of gnarled olive roots with their knots and scars registering wounds inflicted; Pollino’s endangered birds, bearing witness to the fragile ecological balance of the woodland; and the local stones as mineral anchors, symbolising the resilience of geological time.
'Il Nido' marks the artists’ third artwork for Pollino in collaboration with Associazione ArtePollino Associazione ArtePollino and the Municipality of Lauria, Italy.
