Wow, what a great sculptural piece. I know they would grow fast there but the patience and cultivation is breathtaking.

This tree is interesting and I think I like it. I tend to prefer naturalistic styles, but the consistency in the branching is quite stunning. I wouldn't want this to become a trend, but having one tree like this exist out there is pretty cool.

Gerard, the ornament puts the tree into a relationship with the human world. We may think tacky, the Chinese think poetic suggestion. The shape and intensity of the branch shaping reminds me of a brush painting style I can't identify - this tree seems to reflect into the wider world of Chinese art. Thanks for posting.

One word popped straight to my head when I saw this.

Digital. I really am hypnotised by the lines and angle changes....

It won again first place this year in an exhibition in China...The branches remind me a bit of the instant chinese noodles.
I ask lots of questions that sound like suggestions. Please remember I am a inquisitive newbie trying to figure out why You made a particular decision, in order to learn.
