Prompt: ECHO INFUSES THE DEAD BARK WITH RED HOT WAX In Gregory Orekhov’s latest land art project, ECHO, a dried out spruce tree becomes a vibrant canvas symbolizing the fragility of nature and humanity. Against the backdrop of an expansive field in Moscow, the dead tree, which had been struck by lightning years ago and knocked down by the wind, now lays revived with the artist’s tactile touch. The textured surface of the bark absorbs hot wax infused with red pigment, while the roots protruding from the ground are metaphorically recall internal fears and secret anxieties. With the arrival of the first snow, ECHO evolves as interacts with the freshly coated landscape, its vivid red hues now mere traces of creative influence.
