"Thank you @afest and @mindvalley for inviting me to do this installation for you. It was an amazing experience all round. I didn't know much about A-fest but was open to it and it turned out to be one of the best events I've ever attended. The people I met where some of the most powerful humans I've encountered. Genuinely focused on personal growth and making this spec of dust a better place. I am deeply grateful to have met so many of you, as described by @jasonlsilva - "woke humans". This piece #envisioningyourfuture was built in collaboration with a bunch of amazing Balinese craftsmen. Behold their mastery! Looking forward to many more projects together!"

And, There's More...
The Morton Arboretum in Chigaco
One of his more recent installations, aptly named Human + Nature, can be admired at The Morton Arboretum just outside of Chicago. The five figures are spread across the 1,700 acres of the arboretum and are constructed of wood, glass-reinforced concrete, fiberglass, and steel.
Paying homage to nature's endurance and diversity, the installations seem to have popped out of the ground and added an almost poetic aesthetic to the place. All the figures are female and vary in pose, material, and meaning. Human + Nature is Daniel Popper's largest exhibition to date.
"After a very long wait with many obstacles and delays, I am beyond excited to officially announce that my exhibition Human Nature comprising of 5 new semi-permanent art pieces will be opening on the 28th of May at the @mortonarb."
A Walking Tour of Daniel Popper's Awe-Inspiring Sculptures

Daniel Popper will personally lead the visitors on their 2-hour walk of 1 1/2 miles on June 5th and elaborate on his awe-inspiring sculptures. The program has already been sold out.
