been 20 years since I've seen this odd sculpture in the middle of Utah, and I never learned what the story is about it until now. Metaphor - Tree of Utah

https://flic.kr/p/763vv

Created by the Swedish artist Karl Momen in the 1980s and dedicated in 1986.

Constructed mainly of concrete, consists of a squarish 'trunk' holding up six spheres that are coated with natural rock and minerals native to Utah. There are also several hollow sphere segments on the ground around the base.
