Engraved signature and numbering - Tin (welded, polished and finished by hand) // Ai Weiwei’s Pequi Tree is a mixed-media sculpture created in 2021, meticulously crafted from welded and polished tin. Standing at 32 cm tall, this piece resembles the organic, elongated form of a tree, specifically the pequi tree, which is native to Brazil. The artist has transformed this natural shape into a refined metallic structure, emphasizing texture and detail. The rough yet elegant surface evokes the resilience and endurance of trees, mirroring Weiwei's broader exploration of nature, strength, and cultural heritage. This piece is both a celebration of nature's form and a reflection on human interaction with the environment, signed and numbered by the artist.

What is Shock Art?
Shock Art is an art movement that uses disturbing images, scents, or sounds to provoke a strong, often shocked, reaction from viewers. It is often regarded as a form of social commentary, with critics and supporters debating whether its impact is positive or negative. Shock Art frequently employs taboo, obscene, or outrageous elements to challenge societal norms and provoke critical thought.
