KRISTALLMETS Skulptuur “Kristallmets” kujutab puidust modelleeritud kristalle, mille tipud on värviliseks maalitud. Enamasti peetakse ühe maa väärtuslikeks varadeks kulda, hõbedat või teemante. Kahjuks Eesti riigis neid maapõues ei leidu, kuid meil on siiski midagi, mida peaksime enam väärtustama ja millele rohkem tähelepanu pöörama - nimelt puit. Mets katab kuni 55% meie riigi territooriumist, täna veel… See number võib aga kiirelt kahanema hakata, kui me targasti oma metsi ei majanda. Korralik mets kasvab keskmiselt 70 aastat. Noored, kes täna oma talu maadele metsa istutavad, seal sirgunud palkidest endale tõenäoliselt maja ei ehita, pigem nende lapsed või lapselapsed. Unistame Eestist, kus ka meie laste lapsed teaksid, mis on mets ja saaksid seal igal ajal jalutada, marju korjata või talvel suusatamas käia. Soovisime mitte raisata seda, mille hoidmisele tähelepanu tahame juhtida. Seepärast kasutasime oma töös meie kodukandi puidut...
