Materials: Mirror, Soil, Setaria viridis

Size: 53 x 42 inches

This work delves into the complex tension and interdependence between nature and human-made objects. In these pieces, soil, plants, and industrial materials serve as mediums that bear traces of time, symbolizing the resilience of nature alongside the transient nature of human intervention. The mirror suggests the presence of water, but its artificiality alters its natural relationship with plants-shifting from nurturing to suppression.

This "displacement" questions how human creations influence and reshape the expressions of nature, while also reflecting nature's subtle responses to human interference. Through these dynamic interactions, his work prompts viewers to contemplate the mutual shaping of life and matter, encouraging a reassessment of humanity's position within the cycles of nature.
