About Yggdrasil
Morten Ørtenblad · San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua & Roskilde, Denmark
Yggdrasil rises from the dust as an echo of the ancient Tree of Life from Norse mythology — the living bridge between the spiritual and the physical worlds. Reaching 22 ft into the desert sky and spreading 33 ft in diameter, its circular crown is woven with bamboo mandalas that breathe with wind, light, and human presence. Built from laminated bamboo, Yggdrasil is both myth and experiment — a sustainable pilot exploring how bamboo lives on the playa and how it transforms in fire. At its final moment, the tree returns to flame — completing the cycle between earth, spirit, and ash.
