"Repeating the Forest" (2014) by Giuseppe Penone, an Italian artist known for his work that explores the relationship between nature and culture, is a striking installation of wooden sculptures. The artwork comprises several tall, slender tree trunks arranged in a minimalist style, each meticulously crafted to resemble a forest of bare branches reaching towards the sky. The sculptures, reminiscent of a natural grove, stand in stark contrast to the white gallery walls, creating a visually arresting dialogue between the organic and the man-made.
