Description:
This piece is a bit mysterious to me. To be completely honest, I am not sure what it is about. I chose this particular tree because of the vertical cleave in the trunk. The belts seem to be performing some sort of reparative task.

The largest belts are used at the base, where the tree is thickest, while the smallest belts are used at the top.
