Atlas with the World Above His Head

Medium: Austrian Pine trees
Dimensions: 500' x 250' (approx)
Created: 1997 (destroyed 2014)

Two hundred and sixty-six Austrian pine trees planted in a design of land art. Instead of the world resting on his shoulder, he seems to be getting ready to toss it.  

Unfortunately, Pine Wilt Disease began decimating Atlas and it was ultimately destroyed by a wildfire in 2014.
