'Tree of Life' by Seyi Adelekun is an immersive installation which invites visitors to move in and around the tree’s trunk.
Woven from hand-dyed sisal rope, Tree of Life by Seyi Adelekun is a tactile and immersive installation which invites visitors to move in and around the tree’s central hollow trunk.
Drawing on multiple traditions, the tree emerges as a universal symbol of the interconnectedness of all life, personal growth, the cyclical nature of existence and acts as a bridge between physical and spiritual realms.
In Tree of Life, Adelekun honours the significance of trees as anchors of cultural memory, planetary health and ecological balance between the earthly and the divine. The work holds space for reflection, remembrance and reconnection with the forces that sustain life.
In Tree of Life is part of the Sainsbury Centre’s What is the Meaning of Life? exhibition season.
