Tree of Life Moss Wall Art Moss Dryad with Lighting

Botanical Craftsmanship: The Tree of Life Moss Wall Art

The Tree of Life Moss Wall Art combines natural preserved lichen with precision woodcraft to create a circular focal display. The silhouette depicts a dryad profile in black wood, whose flowing hair transitions directly into bare branches across the negative space on the left and a dense canopy of preserved Reindeer Moss (Iceland Moss) on the right. Every segment of moss is mounted by hand into the circular frame to construct a textured, multi-dimensional surface that rises above the wooden border.

Preserved reindeer moss undergoes an eco-friendly stabilization process replacing cellular moisture with a non-toxic salt and mineral solution. This treatment permanently preserves the soft texture, flexibility, and coloration of the lichen without requiring soil, watering, or solar exposure. It retains its tactile volume for 7 to 10 years in environments with ambient humidity between 40% and 70%.

Integrated Lighting and Power Configurations

For enhanced depth and night visibility, this botanical installation offers optional rear-mounted LED illumination available on frame sizes starting from 50 cm (19.6 inches) in diameter. The LED ribbon sits recessed behind the wooden structure, casting indirect radiance outward along the wall perimeter and accentuating the contoured edge of the organic moss layer.

Electrical connections accommodate diverse installation requirements across residential or commercial layouts. Units can be configured with standard 110V direct plug-in adapters or a battery pack operating on standard AA batteries for wire-free wall mounting. Color temperature options include warm yellow, neutral white, and cool white, selected during fabrication to match room fixtures.

Technical Specifications and Sizing Options

Each round unit is assembled from high-grade moisture-resistant wood framing and treated Scandinavian lichen. The balance between open negative space and dense organic foliage maintains structural stability across all available circumferences.

Installation and Care Guidelines

Mounting the fixture requires standard wall anchors suitable for the overall weight of the selected frame diameter. The integrated bracket on the reverse side anchors directly onto wall screws, distributing weight evenly to keep the circle flush against drywall, plaster, or wood paneling.

• Lighting availability: Integrated backlighting is engineered exclusively for diameters of 50 cm (19.6″) and larger.
• Humidity control: Maintain indoor relative humidity between 40% and 70% to preserve natural texture.
• Direct sunlight: Position away from continuous direct UV light to prevent premature fading.
• Maintenance: Clean periodically using gentle cold air from a blower or a feather duster; never spray liquid onto the moss.
