Initially created as a temporary installation during the 2018 Breckenridge International Festival of Arts, Isak Heartstone is a larger than life wooden troll assembled by Thomas Dambo, a Danish artist and designer who specializes in creating imaginative pieces from recycled materials. The kindly troll acquired his name after three local girls brought Dambo a heart-shaped rock during his assembly. Originally constructed along a trail behind the residential Wellington neighborhood, he now resides on the Trollstigen Trail, where you can also find this box.
