Description

This surreal artwork by Arpana Caur, titled Vanishing Tree, presents a haunting vision of a tree composed entirely of human bones, with a femur forming the trunk and skeletal branches reaching outward. Birds perch and flutter around the bone-laden limbs, creating a poignant contrast between life and death. The gnarled black roots and green gradient background evoke decay within a natural setting, underscoring themes of extinction and fragility. Through its stark symbolism and evocative composition, the piece explores the intersection of mortality, memory, and environmental loss.
