You're probably right with regards to this tree. Couldn't it have been carved as something more in keeping with the natural environment though? I suppose a fucking human hand is emblematic of environmental destruction so maybe it fits.
Humans are the ones capable of understanding artistic expression. It's pretty, and sends a message to humans which helps them empathise with the natural world. Squirrels aren't going to care if it looks like a hand, or a tree. I don't understand the criticism. It's a cool art. There are lots of trees which rot normally, but this gesture shows humans that they are part of the world with apparently no lasting environmental consequences.
So it should have been carved into a giant lightning bolt since that's what ended up destroying it then? /s
