As replicas go, this piece, depicting tree and decorative stone, is very realistic in texture. The arrangement of the objects evokes a sense of wonder as they all point to the sky, every line leading upward.
Composed of nanoglass and, surprisingly, actual wood, the piece relies too much on a a familiarity with trees as a prototype. This piece is accessible only to those who have seen a tree in their lifetime.

I love this take on the prompt! Really original. I particularly like you awarding only three out of five stars – lovely little conceit.

Lovely bit of thinking behind the story here. Good one.

That’s why I went to see the giant redwoods last summer. Just in case all died before I do.

That is a future that is all too likely.
Did my earlier attempt to comment go anywhere? As I tried to post, the screen went wonky.

A futuristic take where the emotion has been sanitised in the telling. Most unusual and captivating.
