"Trinity Root" Steve Tobin
2005 bronze sculpture

this sculpture has a really neat story behind it so i thought i would share it. apparently, this sculpture was made in honor of a 70 year old tree stump that shielded St. Paul's Chapel in NYC from falling debris of the twin towers on 9/11. weighing 3 tons, this sculpture sits in the courtyard of the church, reminding patrons of the protection mother nature gave their church during that tragic event. i love the shape of this piece. i'm a sucker for tree roots so i automatically fell in love! plus its a really nice story of mother nature protecting humanity. :)
