About the Item

A monumental sculptural work by contemporary artist Christopher Froehlich, composed of a weathered sassafras base and a strikingly organic lotus root form mounted above. The two elements are joined with precision and balance, rising from a custom steel base that grounds the natural composition in an architectural frame. The contrast between the light, timeworn grain of the sassafras and the dark, sculpted character of the lotus root creates a dynamic interplay of tone and texture. The form evokes both growth and decay—an abstracted tree or totem reaching skyward—imbued with the quiet strength of natural materials transformed by the artist’s hand. Hand-carved, assembled, and finished by Froehlich, this one-of-a-kind piece blurs the line between art and nature, serving as both a sculptural statement and a meditation on endurance, balance, and form.
