Oslo Tree LED Sculpture at OsloMet | Wall Art
Abstract tree-shaped LED light in Oslo
Nightfall in Oslo is quiet, but not silent—and certainly not still. On a damp, moody evening, wandering through the campus of OsloMet, I stumbled across this surreal LED sculpture, glowing like a digital tree rooted in steel and code. The surrounding fog was heavy enough to mute the sounds of the city but thin enough to let the light bleed through in hauntingly beautiful waves.
There’s a strange poetry in the way urban design and imagination can collide—especially here, where Norway’s natural symbolism meets modern lighting technology. The piece itself doesn’t scream for attention; it hums. A tree, but not really. A sculpture, but not quite. It sits halfway between art and infrastructure, flickering in the dusk like some cybernetic ghost from a future forest.
What I love about this image is the tension it holds: organic form made of rigid geometry, soft mist swirling around hard architecture, and the suggestion of solitude in a city alive with stories. You might walk past this installation during the day and never blink. But when Oslo breathes fog and silence into its streets, this tree becomes something else entirely—a kind of visual haiku.
The composition frames the tree at the centre, letting the LED branches glow stark against the concrete campus buildings behind it. The black and white treatment strips away any temptation to romanticize the colours—instead, the image leans into contrast and shape. If you’ve ever wandered through a city at night, chasing quiet moments where the familiar turns strange, this piece will speak your language.
I photographed this during one of my long night walks through Norway, chasing light in a country that knows darkness well. There are no tricks here—no AI manipulation, no artificial atmospheres. Just me, the fog, the tree, and the stillness between passing footsteps.
