Box Sculpture

I have made another piece since which is of a slightly similar concept. Made with wood, I created a tower of black and grey boxes; It is meant to resemble a city structure- Symbolic of urbanisation.


 
In the boxes are different stages of grass. The bottom and largest box is full of fresh green grass. It is symbolic of how we (humanity-urban) use nature to live and build empires. The second box, is on top the black one, to symbolise further growth in the urban area. This contains rotting grass, dying and hence yellow. Then the top box, which is highest, contains fermented grass.ie silage- It shows how we build excessively on nature, destoying it in the process.
 
Bottom box: Fresh grass

Middle box: Rotting grass

Top box: Fermented grass
(I did not put silage in yet for pratical reasons)
