On Tuesday, FOX6's cameras captured a 40-foot metal tree put into place near the Northwestern Mutual building.

"What's lovely about this work is, it looks very one way during the day. It'll look differently at dusk, and it'll look very different at night, you know? There's enough ambient light where you'll be able to see the tree," said Marilu Knode, Sculpture Milwaukee.
