Here’s the descritpion of the artist:

“Artist Harz was at work here again. For many years, this extremely interesting wood was in a reservoir in the Harz Mountains, where it was shaped into a sculpture and finally washed up on the shore. I was able to discover it there.

I think this positioning at the top is the most beautiful. But how should I attach it?
Cleverly there is a heel behind the tip. I could sink a metal rod into this – ideally so that you can’t see it from the front. Then all you have to do is drill a slanted hole into the base at the right angle. As such, wood was more suitable than stone. Luckily I had this old oak block in my filing box. It succeeded.

I simply had the title “Taken to the extreme” in mind when positioning it. In this case, something really nice came out of it. But it usually doesn’t do us any good if we do too much of a good thing.”
