A ten-metre-high temporary construction at Cresta Shopping Centre, the Enviroserv Christmas Tree stood for seven months in 2009. Built from plastic bottles, broken chairs, bumpers, headlights and eight thousand solar-powered blue LED lights, it closes the late-career arc back to Kurt's earliest welded-metal years — scrap, reused, lit from within.
