Requiem acts as a token of remembrance for things past. The work illuminates the delicate equilibrium between the interconnectedness of a tree and its root system. In this sense, the work juxtaposes many elements: visible with the invisible; strength and fragility and the past and the present.

Ulan & Rachel
We, Ulan Murray and Rachel Burns, are long-time partners in life and art. Our collaborative sculptural practice merges scientific curiosity with artistic sensitivity.
Drawing on our backgrounds in biology, horticulture, and fine arts, we explore the profound and often unseen connections between humanity and the natural world.
Ulan is a lapsed biologist and former horticulturist, while Rachel holds a Bachelor of Creative Arts with Honours. Our work speaks to a contemporary desire for stillness and presence, inviting viewers to reconnect with the intricate, often unseen relationships between people and the environment.
