The Alchemy is a large installation suitable for public spaces. It is made of recycled water bottles containing ash and pebbles, so each bottle contains the four elements, air, earth, fire and water. It got a great response from the public and was featured in the papers several times.

In alchemy the tree is a symbol of the work of producing the philosopher’s stone, which is capable of turning base matter into gold. In our personal progress towards perfection the tree symbolizes our growth and the transformation of earthly desires and our earthly origins into a spiritual state, transcending the world.
