Hartenboom
A huge white concrete tree trunk covered in hearts and secret messages, to sit or climb on, or have a chat while letting out the dog...
87 local inhabitants immortalised their messages and hearts, scratching them in clay tablets during one of the workshops organised by the artist. An exact copy of their drawing was later transferred onto the trunk.
