Essence 7 (2025) is a one-of-a-kind sculptural work by New Zealand artist John Allen — a meaningful gift grounded in natural form and place. Handcrafted from pōhutukawa roots salvaged from fallen trees in Northland, this piece reflects strength, resilience, and connection to the land. The elongated form emphasises the natural movement and tension within the roots, creating a sense of quiet energy and balance. Finished with natural oil and wax, the surface reveals the depth, warmth, and distinctive grain of pōhutukawa while preserving its organic character. Essence 7 offers a lasting alternative to the fleeting — an original artwork made from reclaimed New Zealand native wood that symbolises grounding, endurance, and lasting connection. Entirely unique, this handcrafted sculpture is a personal and thoughtful expression of love, and an exceptional gift for someone special.
