Description

The painting shows a tree with human-like arms on its many branches, strangling each other, locked in self-destructive embrace. The image of a tree destroying itself acts as a commentary on the environmental activism in Russia during the 1990s, when people began to take stock of the damage to the environment inflicted by the Soviet government’s industrialization campaigns.
