Objet abandonné

An abandoned tree that once had a better life on someone's balcony. Now it's dead; the balloons scoff at nature. When it was on the balcony it represented a kind of nature that we like to believe in, but nature is merely a utensil in this case, and it was carelessly discarded. Cast in bronze.
