This is what happens when you hold onto a tree and never let go as it keeps growing. Giuseppe Penone created It Will Continue to Grow Except at That Point by casting his hand around the trunk of a young tree and then leaving it alone. Over time, the...

I don't get it. They title this art. Yet, anyone that's ever owned land/farm has seen this action by trees since the beginning of time. Go look at fences on oldder homestead.

🌳 Trees actually record every environmental pressure they ever experienced. Each growth ring contains the chemical signature of that year drought, disease, volcanic ash, temperature shifts. A cross section of an old tree is a 500 year climate archive. Penone's hand left a physical indentation. The atmosphere leaves a chemical one. Every living thing carries a permanent record of every force that ever touched it!

Wait… people are actually applauding a tree being “messed with” for art? So the tree grows naturally, except where a human decided to leave their mark. That’s basically forced evolution for the sake of Instagram aesthetics. Are we really celebrating creativity, or just subtle vandalism disguised as philosophy?

This is bullshit. Simply “touching” a tree is NOT going to do this. But ATTACHING a foreign object to a tree will. The superpower of the tree is that it will eventually ENVELOP the foreign object.

If, in fact, he had just stood there all those years, hand around the tree, that tree would've killed him. And we'd all be saying different things.

"Brief human contact" and it's 14 strait fucking years

Penone’s 1968 bronze cast illustrates thigmorphogenesis, where plants alter growth based on mechanical touch. Over decades, the tree's vascular cambium expanded around the metal, permanently documenting human intervention through natural biological resistance.

What material was this "arm" made off? You see trees growing around stuff everywhere. But the tree also got some force to make it's way

No it isn’t. No one has they grip strength to not open their hand as the tree grows.

It does that with any obstruction you put on a tree. Even Brush that can grow into wood trees. I let a privet grow into a Tree vs. Shrub, and there was an iron bird feeder in it. The thing grew right into the trunk of it, so it's part of the tree now.

It grew around the cast of the hand that was left there. It wasn't brief contact that impacted growth but the object that remained attached to the stump. It's interesting as an illustration of tree biology. Not because of the AI waffle that's been pasted in this post.

This is a famous tree on Vashon Island in Washington State. A kid in the 1950s leaned his bike against the tree, and the tree grew around it, even lifting it off the ground!

It’s a beautiful reminder that even fleeting contact an instant in the life of a tree can leave something enduring. There’s a quiet humility in it too

Yeah yeah, arty genius. Like every farmer hasn’t stuck something on a tree. One of ours had handlebars.

A real human hand would simply be pushed away as the grew.

If it can't crush it, it will grow around it because it has no choice but too, I don't get why this is such profound philosophy to some people its simple logic. Trees eat anything that's in their way, there is heaps of pictures of them consuming road signs

Wow 😮 That’s incredible. The way the tree carries the memory of the hand is so poetic like a silent dialogue between humans and nature. Growth, time, and restraint creating art without force ,truly inspiring.

Wow… a simple touch can leave a mark that lasts forever. Art and nature blending to show the subtle power of human presence. 🌳✋

"a quiet record of how even brief human contact can leave a lasting mark on nature." Bullshit bubbling master class. Nothing briefly here.

Hold a tree long enough... and it holds you back. Penone's hand cast in 1968 grew INTO the trunk over decades. A quiet reminder: our touch echoes in the living world forever. Who's still holding on?

Very cool but this is not "brief human contact." It is rather sustained human contact over multiple years?

Nature and art coming together like this is fascinating. It’s amazing how something simple can turn into a powerful statement about time and growth.

Very interesting to see how nature adapts this tree is a perfect example of just how resilient and resourceful the natural world can be. Even in the toughest conditions, it finds a way to grow, bend, and survive. The adaptability on display here is genuinely remarkable.

Brief? It’s still holding the bloody thing. Of course it grows around it!

There's something in most British villages older than the church. Older than the English language. You've walked past it a thousand times. And nobody told you what it was. 🌳 The yew tree. Some are 2,000 years old. Some are closer to 5,000. The Fortingall Yew in Scotland. One of the oldest living things in Europe. They were sacred before Christianity arrived. When the new religion came, they didn't cut the trees down. They built the churches next to them. The church came to the tree. Not the other way around. Some are hollow. The heartwood rots away. But the tree keeps growing from the outside. A tree can be hollow for centuries and still be alive. Yew wood made the English longbow. Agincourt. Crécy. The weapon that changed European warfare. The wood came from churchyards. Yew is poisonous. Every part of it. Livestock can't go near it. That's why they survived in churchyards when they were cut down everywhere else. The wall saved them. The Ankerwycke Yew. Near Runnymede. Two and a half thousand years old. Magna Carta may have been sealed beneath it. The tree was already a thousand years old when that happened. You can touch them. They're not behind glass. They're in your village. Walk up to one on Sunday morning. Put your hand on the bark. That tree was alive before Julius Caesar crossed the Channel. And it's still growing. Still standing in the same churchyard. Still alive. Still yours. Sources and more available at Be part of us. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

Seonghwa shares a poem from an ATINY’s letter that inspired him to write his own poem for ATINY and explains its meaning. 🐰 A fan once wrote me a letter, and in that letter they included a poem. I think I may have shared the poem that really moved me. The title is “The Tree That Polishes Stars”, a poem by Gong Gwang-gyu. 🐰 (shy) It’s a bit funny. Some people might think I’m being dramatic, but since there are people who like things like this, I’ll read it. This isn’t my poem. It’s by Gong Gwang-gyu. 🐰 The title is “The Tree That Polishes Stars.”: Couldn’t a ginkgo tree be called a tree that polishes stars? A tree that, through rain, wind, and sunlight, diligently polished the stars. A golden tree dusted with stardust in autumn. I, too, want to become a tree that polishes stars - polishing the star that is you, until I turn beautifully golden because of you. Couldn’t someone like me be called a tree that polishes stars? Me, who wishes to fall beautifully for the star that is you. 🐰 It’s cheesy (but in a cute way). Anyway, it’s a very romantic poem. It was in a letter a fan gave me. That person said they thought of me when they read the poem, so they wrote it in their letter to me. When I read it, my heart felt a little tender and aching. So thinking about this poem, I wrote one myself. (shy) Shall I read it? Or should I show it? The poem the fan wanted to show me was “The Tree That Polishes Stars.” So after reading it, I tried writing a poem titled “Tree.” 🐰 (shows it on camera but it appears mirrored.) Is it upside down? Or mirrored? I’ll just read it. The title… ah, this is really cheesy/sentimental. The title “Tree” (laughs, shy). 🐰 Title: Tree When it rains, stay for a moment - I’ll become your umbrella. When the sunlight is too harsh and hard to endure, rest for a while - I’ll become your shade. Climb on me, ride on my back. I’ll show you a bigger world. When it feels like time has stopped, when you feel alone, I’ll show you the four seasons through my colors. If you ever need a place to return to, even after many years, there in that same place I’ll be waiting. And if someday I’m no longer needed, then… then it’s okay if you cut me down. 🐰 It’s kind of like The Giving Tree, right? I wrote this poem thinking about ATINY, after receiving that poem from a fan. It’s about giving everything - like the tree that gives endlessly. It becomes an umbrella, it becomes shade, you can climb it and see a bigger world from above. A river may look like only one color, but in a forest you can see all four seasons as the leaves change. 🐰 Sometimes when I’m having a hard time, I feel lonely, like time has stopped for me. In those moments, I imagine myself as a tree. As its leaves change, it reminds me that time is still passing. And there are trees that stay in the same place for hundreds of years, right? So even if you leave and come back someday, whenever you need a place to return to, I’ll always be there in that same place. And if one day the tree is no longer needed, then cut me down and still use me for your sake. I wrote it with that kind of feeling - a very devoted feeling, like “I belong to you.”

Back in Brecksville living with my brother in a house we both bought, we had an apple tree in the backyard that we were too busy to keep up on. I admit I was pulling long hours at the insurance company and he was gone on developers trips all the time. The fruit and the leaves would fall and sometimes land in the neighbors driveway. For the longest time they never said anything about it, they even picked our apples and ate them, I never said anything about that because to be honest I never cared. One day I was on a phone call with a client and I was walking to the backyard and saw a few half eaten apples and apple cores littering the patio area by my garage. I assumed the neighbor ate it and threw it over. As the days passed I saw more and more apples scattered all over my yard. They even but a big branch of my tree off that was beginning to go over the fence. One day while in the garage I saw firsthand they were throwing apples over the fence. I walked by the fence and saw they were trying to spray something around my tree. The tree is literally right next to the fence, it almost touched it. A few days later the leaves looked burnt and even some of the grass by the tree was dying as well. I suspected they were trying to spray some sort of plant killer to kill my tree. I then walked over to them and asked what was going on, they claimed their daughter was visiting and one of the apples fell and dented her car, and they wanted me to address my fruit falling onto their property. The weird thing about the whole thing is I never heard anything about this nor did they ever ask me to pay for the damages. My friends and I ended up getting a latter and trimming most of the branches close to the fence. I did see them reach over on occasion to steal apples but I never really had an issue with them from that point on. I also never offered to pay for the damage because I wasn’t convinced it even happened, I would think if it did I would have heard about it when it happened.
