Carved from reclaimed wood, "Light Among the Leaves" is an original artwork by Neyda De La Peña that celebrates the quiet beauty of growth, hope, and the enduring strength of nature. Its gracefully carved branches reach outward while hand-cut aluminum leaves catch and reflect the light, creating a gentle shimmer that changes throughout the day.
The tree stands as a timeless symbol of resilience deeply rooted, yet always reaching toward the light. Every knot, grain, and weathered mark in the reclaimed wood tells a story of endurance, reminding us that beauty often emerges from what time has shaped rather than erased.
Handcrafted in Utah, this one-of-a-kind wood relief combines traditional wood carving with contemporary mixed-media techniques, transforming reclaimed materials into a work of lasting meaning. "Light Among the Leaves" invites viewers to pause, reflect, and discover the quiet light that exists within every season of life.
