About event
We invite you to the ceremonial opening of a new permanent work by the Japanese artist Yuka Nomura – The cherry pit that was spit out by the sky. The author of the work herself will also take part in the opening ceremony. We will meet on August 21, 2026 at 17:00 in the Cherry Orchard in the Brezina Forest Park in Trenčín 🍒
For the Cherry Orchard in the Brezina Forest Park in Trenčín, the Japanese artist Yuka Nomura will create a new permanent installation - a sculpture in the shape of a cherry stone. The artistic concept of the work is based on the symbolism of the bone as the bearer of life and the continuity of the natural cycle. The cube combines the idea of a ship carrying a new life and at the same time a shelter in which something unknown is hidden — a story or a being waiting to be discovered.
In the Cherry Orchard, where the work will be placed, the trees repeatedly bore fruit for many years. Cherries were consumed by both birds and humans; birds spread the seeds further across the land via their droppings, and humans, after enjoying the sweet pulp, spat the seeds back onto the ground. This simple act was repeated in the constant cycle of nature, in which the end of one story becomes the beginning of another.
The work follows the natural processes associated with the Cherry Orchard, the repeated bearing of fruits, the spread of seeds and the relationship between nature, people and animals. Nomura creates a sculpture inspired by the shape of a spaceship — or perhaps a cherry pit that someone spit out at a particular moment in their life. Using wood, straw and clay, he transforms an ordinary natural fragment into an object bearing the idea of wandering, birth and hidden potential.

For the Cherry Orchard in Trenčín's Brezina Forest Park, Japanese artist Yuka Nomura has created a new permanent installation – a sculpture in the shape of a cherry pit. The artistic concept is based on the symbolism of the pit as a carrier of life and the continuity of the natural cycle. It evokes both a vessel carrying new life and a shelter hiding something unknown — a story or a being waiting to be discovered.
In the Cherry Orchard, where the artwork will be installed, the trees have borne fruit year after year. Birds and people alike have eaten the cherries; birds spread the seeds across the landscape through their droppings, while people spat the pits back onto the ground after enjoying the sweet fruit. This simple act has repeated itself in nature's endless cycle, where the end of one story becomes the beginning of another.
The artwork builds on the natural processes of the Cherry Orchard: the recurring harvest, the dispersal of seeds, and the relationship between nature, people and animals. Nomura has created a sculpture inspired by the shape of a spaceship — or perhaps a cherry pit spat out by someone at a particular moment in their life. Using wood, straw and clay, she transforms an ordinary fragment of nature into an object carrying the ideas of journey, new beginnings and hidden potential.
