Sculpted hands, reaching towards the sky. This is the story of La Mano Árbol de Vida. Here in Buenos Aires, at the intersection of Chivilcoy and Ricardo Gutiérrez streets, stands a testament to creativity and community. La Mano Árbol de Vida, meaning “The Hand, Tree of Life,” isn’t just any sculpture. It’s a symbol of Villa Devoto’s history, deeply rooted in the neighborhood’s identity. Dr. Jorge Blomberg, a resident of Villa Devoto, created La Mano Árbol de Vida over 20 years ago. The sculpture originally graced the land of the Ferrocarril General Urquiza. On October 17th, a team led by Carlos Guzzini, President of the Communal Board, carefully disassembled La Mano Árbol de Vida. The sculpture, showing the passage of time and weather, was taken down for restoration. This restoration speaks to the community’s dedication. It’s a commitment to preserving the artistic legacy of Villa Devoto. La Mano Árbol de Vida symbolizes not just life, but also the enduring spirit of this unique neighborhood. It stands as a reminder of the power of art to connect people and inspire.
