Trees are amazing, but these trees are really amazing. What I love is that these trees-turned-art pieces can not be immediately forced into place; instead, they must be shaped over a matter of time naturally and organically.
The faces are slightly scary, while some of the more sculptural trees just blow the leaves off my tree. As for the bike piece--that is just so cool.
Implications - These arboreal art installations show how guerrilla artists have modified trees around them into interactive pieces of art. Whether the artists' motives lie in drawing attention to the fragility of nature or purely for aesthetic reasons, these artistic trees are truly a sight to behold.
