David Landis received his BBA and MFA from Georgia State University and was an adjunct professor at Georgia State University's sculpture department. His work ranges from large-scale public commissions to smaller private works. He is an active member of Atlanta's art community by being on a number of community panels, giving lectures, and conducting public art tours.

The work is composed of abstracted ginkgo leaves flowing in a rhythmic circle, implying motion, change, and the seasonal and generational cycles of life.
This art installation was gifted to the Atlanta Beltline Arboretum from Trees Atlanta through public donations and grants for environmental education.
