The “Fire Oak”—an oak trunk approximately 11 meters tall—uses intricate carvings to illustrate the history of human development in relation to the positive and negative uses of wood and fire. It is encircled by a bronze band of fire that rises from the ground and extends all the way up to the crown. There, it culminates in a flame, visualized by colorful metallic titanium sheets.
