This abstract bronze sculpture is located in the middle of the Botanical Center's outdoor conifer garden. It is intended to have a plant-like feel with sections that appear to be growing. It is the center's first permanent sculpture.
The artist, Karoly Veress, lives in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Canada. In his
own words, this work reflects "the vertical accumulation of the contribution
of generations -striving for the highest, thereby building our culture."
