“A tree never stands still,” reads one of the etched phrases on the Epigram Sculpture. It sounds like a simple truth, but there’s a deeper meaning here. This sculpture is more than just a collection of granite and iron. It’s a testament to the power of recycling and renewal. The Epigram Sculpture is a unique piece of art, located right here in Hjorthagen, a neighborhood known for its cultural and artistic scene. The sculpture, designed by Elisabet Sivard, is made of rough-hewn granite and black iron.
The granite is a symbol of the earth’s natural resources and the iron represents the raw power of industry. The iron is shaped into the form of a fire basket, and it is filled with glistening kallsit, a type of rock that sparkles like diamonds. The use of this natural stone underscores the desire to connect the urban environment with the natural world and to celebrate the interplay between society and the natural cycle. Take a closer look at the carefully arranged granite blocks, spiraling into an organic shape. You can see the intricate detail in the iron work and the way the kallsit glows from within. The Epigram Sculpture isn’t just something to admire; it’s a call to action, a reminder that even in the most modern of cities, we need to be conscious of the resources we use and the impact we have on the environment. It’s a celebration of the intricate dance between nature and human intervention, a powerful message expressed through artistry.
