The Apple Tree

The Apple Tree

The Apple Tree was an Installation in the main lobby of the ANA Intercontinental Hotel in Tokyo to commemorate the hotel's 5th anniversary celebration since its opening.

A gift made of wood is given for a 5th anniversary and is symbolic of strength, stability, and an enduring nature. Therefore a tree with ripening apples symbolizes the beginning of a strong relationship that is developing deep roots, preparing itself for a long-lasting future.

The Apple Tree was installed over a cascading water fountain with a pool at the bottom. To create an atmosphere of whimsy and joy it was surrounded with blades of grass and flowers and in the pool were fish and a frog leaping over lily pads and cattails.
