Looking for a gum tree

Description:

The koala is an Australian icon but it is also a vulnerable species. This is so because, despite the fact that there are hundreds of species of eucalyptus, the koala only feeds on one, and due to the loss of habitat, its population is decreasing. Under these harsh circumstances, I imagine a koala that came across this leafy tower, would probably climb up to see if there was a leaf of eucalyptus along the way

Significance of the artwork:

This artwork shows us how far we can reach when we need it.

It also speaks about the need to preserve nature.
