Swing for Stumps 1993

"Swing for Stumps" (1993) by Vasiliy Ryabchenko is a minimalist sculpture that juxtaposes natural and man-made elements. A wooden frame with wheels supports a large tree root suspended by chains. The root appears to be swinging, creating a sense of movement and tension. The piece may be interpreted as a commentary on the relationship between humanity and nature, highlighting the destructive power of human intervention. The simple yet striking imagery evokes a sense of both fragility and resilience.
