The bust, hand and forearm of a hollow male dryad formed from intertwining branches, shoots, vines and leaves fabricated from mild steel.

This piece was originally commissioned as a gift for a father going through a divorce and as a reminder that things will get better and change with time; I chose the title "Aileni" as it translates to both "rebirth" in Welsh and "family" in Turkish.

The piece features a flower in the centre where the heart would be as a symbol for the father's caring nature and the three acorns on the base were specifically 10cm, 8cm and 4cm tall, representing the ages of his three children at the time.
