Essence 2 (2025) – Handcrafted Native Wood Sculpture

Essence 2 (2025) is a small-scale, one-of-a-kind sculptural work that makes a thoughtful and intimate gift. Handcrafted from pōhutukawa roots salvaged from fallen trees in Beachlands, this piece reflects the quiet strength and resilience of coastal timber.

The compact form highlights the natural curves and tension of the roots, giving the sculpture a grounded yet expressive presence. Finished with natural oil and wax, the surface reveals the rich grain and warm tones of pōhutukawa while preserving the wood’s organic character.

Essence 2 offers a lasting alternative to the fleeting—an artwork made from reclaimed New Zealand native wood that symbolizes closeness, grounding, and enduring connection. Each sculpture is entirely unique, making it a personal and meaningful expression of love.
