Jaime Miranda-Bambaren--"Seeds"

these interesting sculptures caught my eye and I had to find out more

here is the description I found:

 

Jaime Miranda-Bambarén exhumes

the truncated roots of plundered trees

in the Peruvian highlands.

 

These are centennial eucalyptus, planted in viceregal times,

razed by our degrading “modernity”.

 

By transforming such remains into Seeds,

Miranda-Bambarén affirms, to be sure, an ecological claim.

But, above all, he projects a metaphysical vision,

a resurrectional act:

to grant those desecrated remnants a symbolic dignity.

 

And to transfigure those fields of sown death

into breathless, but almost breathing images of life.
