Handmade Metal Tree of Life with Dragonflies – Fair Trade from Haiti
This stunning handmade metal sculpture captures the timeless beauty of the Tree of Life, surrounded by graceful dragonflies in flight. Measuring approximately 17" wide by 70" long, it’s a striking vertical piece perfect for hallways, beside doors, or as a central focal wall feature.
Each piece is handcrafted by Haitian artist Cineus Louime, who skillfully transforms recycled steel oil barrels into elegant works of art. The original red color of the barrels remains visible in subtle areas, adding depth, authenticity, and a touch of history to every sculpture.
