Kidney Tree with Golden Trunk of Urine

“Kidney Tree with Golden Trunk of Urine” shows the collaborative and cohesive form of the two kidneys resulting in a heart shaped tree.  The green leaves are supplied by unusually shaped branches.  The color of the trunk of golden urine brings the artistic element back to the reality of the kidney function and the gushing forth of urine.

Said the kidneys to the heart, you allow me to be myself, and do what I do best.  Without you I would be nothing!”  Said the heart to the kidneys “You rid us of waste and toxins and you recycle our water.Without you we all would be nothing!”

This profound conversation between the two organs is a universal lesson of biology and life.  We all need to do what we do best.  When we do this, the whole society of cells, organs, or people benefit.  The success of the one is the success of all.
