Metal carcass and covered by self-made material by author
“The Tree of Life” is more than just a sculpture-it is a call for society to regain its ability to listen, to feel, and to empathize. Created in 2025 in a surrealist style, the sculpture symbolizes how people living with congenital differences, the consequences of trauma, or cancer are too often overlooked by society. This work is part of my mission to establish the first laboratory for custom facial prostheses (epitheses) in the Baltic States. Beginning in 2025, I worked on Estonia’s first magnet-retained ear prosthesis for a child with Grade III microtia-a project that was successfully completed in May 2026. But this is only the beginning. I continue to help children with congenital craniofacial anomalies. Each of my sculptures can be commissioned as a unique work in bronze, concrete, a combination of these materials, or other media. All proceeds from the sale of my artworks are dedicated to establishing the laboratory and providing facial prosthetic rehabilitation for people in need. I firmly believe that art and science are not opposites-they are allies. Together, they have the power not only to restore a person’s physical appearance, but also to restore dignity, identity, and hope.”Epithesis Without Borders.”
