"But I am like an olive tree
flourishing in the house of God;
I trust in God’s unfailing love
for ever and ever."
flourishing in the house of God;
I trust in God’s unfailing love
for ever and ever."
Psalm 52:8
A commissioned work, an urn made of olive and fossilized oak wood.
Besides beautiful colour effects, the choice of wood is connected to symbolism of olive and bog oak.
Olive represents longevity, God's mercy and peace, while thousands of years old bog oak signifies death, hope and resurrection.
The sketch was drawn instantly, as a single design version with practically no alterations, and made by traditional turning technique.
