creating a space for both meditation and conversation, dutch artist rob sweere has conceived ‘contemplatorium – love tree’, an arborous, arc-like dwelling situated in a grassy landscape. a tree growing at the habitat’s core towers through a rectangular opening at its roof, framing the visible sky in a bloom of leaves. constructed from wood and paint, its hollow interior is fitted with two bench-like surfaces, one on either side, encouraging both communication and contemplation for the pair seated inside. ‘love tree’s’ profile reveals a cut-out silhouette that echos the shape of a keyhole, composing a small window for which a passerby might peer through and see the lush field revealed behind.

Ditto. It certainly presents itself as a barrier between two people.
The tree is lovely.
what about some common sense?
This dwellling is very appealing to the senses. It is a celebration of “growth”, “being rooted”, “look to the sky” in a very real way. That is what any dwelling is, or can be- a celebration or exploration of a feeling. This is fun and brings a temporary intimacy to the two lucky enough to stumble upon it.
