Have you ever seen the clash of metal trees? Although why just a fight? Perhaps this is a joyous tree shake after a long separation. In any case, this scene was immortalized by New York author Roxy Payne. His stainless steel urban sculptures look like living and, moreover, thinking creatures.
There are enough dramatic scenes from the life of metal trees for a whole park of sculptures. What did their author want to say? Roxy Paine seeks to show that the same thing happens in nature as in human life: someone's soil leaves from under his feet, and he finds himself in a strange position, actually upside down. Life breaks someone, and inadvertently throws someone to another metal tree.
The New York Times writes of steel sculptures: “Following the logic of Mr. Payne, you will understand that human culture is as much a part of nature as mountains, oceans, forests and animals. In other words, there is nothing outside of nature. And even metal comes to life.

Cannibals living in trees: the Korowai tribe in Papua New Guinea
Just a few decades ago, the aborigines of the Korowai tribe did not even know that, besides them, there were other people on earth. Rumor has it that they killed and ate foreigners who dared to come to their territory, not caring too much to get in touch with the civilized world.

Smart "suits" for cell towers. Fake trees in the New Trees art project
Since today telephone communication is available in all corners of the globe, it is logical to assume that cell towers of mobile operators should be located almost everywhere.
