Tree of Life, Art installation at MIND, Milan, Italy
The Tree of Life stands 37 meters tall at the center of Lake Arena, constructed with steel and wood forming an intricate branch structure.
The installation emerged as the symbol of the Italian Pavilion during Expo 2015, drawing inspiration from the Bernocchi Luminator lamp and Renaissance designs.
The structure reflects Italian engineering excellence through its design by Marco Balich and Studio Giò Forma, incorporating elements from Michelangelo's Capitoline Hill pattern.
Visitors can watch the structure perform water and light shows every hour, with daytime performances lasting 5 minutes and evening shows extending to 15 minutes.
The monument remains at its original location in MIND district, where it continues to present shows using water from the Villoresi canal.
