The sculpture is created from a flat steel sheet that is cut into shapes and then formed by a meticulous hammering process. The pieces have been then welded together, smoothed and shaped with the help of heat. The acorn is left to rust because the artist appreciates the unstoppable nature of metal, ever changing and responsive to the environment.

Acorns have an essential role in the ecosystems, being eaten by deer, bear, squirrels, birds and many other species. Furthermore, if planted, it leads to the birth of great oaks trees. The sculpture celebrates the preciousness of the seed.
