The Nose Tree (2025) is a limited edition bronze sculpture by Kat Geng-Caraballo.
Sprouting from the trunk, three interconnected noses offer a fruitful and long-lasting reminder of the ever-present connections they hold; to our lineage, our breath, memories and others. Each statue, hand sculpted by the artist and cast using the lost wax process from a woman-run foundry , are grounded in a rich hand cut and sustainably sourced Caoba base, an exquisite tropical Mahogany.
Only eleven made. Three unique patinas.
Each bronze statue is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
