stone vs sand .. tree vs earth .. leaf vs water ..

Even though I am been around by the nature, I always ignore the beauty and power of nature.
The artificial products have been reducing my ability to admit and admire the nature beauty. In this city, I am only concerned about the beauty dresses, advanced cell phone, delicious hamburgers, frozen frappuccino, etc.

Therefore, from this art works, I would like to back-focus on the beauty of nature by reducing artificial commodity around me. From the field trip, I rediscovered the relationship of the sunlight, object and shadow. I know it is common knowledge, but this discovery, for me, seems like a starting point to rediscover the relationship between nature and me.
By knowing the shadow of a tree is created by light, I have reproduced a series of art works to represent the power and beauty of nature, gravitation.

I don't have to use any machines to measure the weight of a stone on sand because the negative space of sand represents the weight of stone.
It represents I, myself am not only a physical body. My taste, my thought, my knowledge, my experience and my reaction also can represent myself.

I don't have to use any machines to hold a tree up because the tree can stand and grow up by its roots under the earth. It will not been fallen down by the gravity power.
It represents I have to live with others instead of living alone. I am part of nature and I am part of a group. My group, such as family, friends and teaches, is helping me to grow.

I don't have to use any machines to make a leaf float on water because it can float on water by itself. It will not been sinked into water by pushing it down.
It represents we all have own power and ability to live on.


Yes, they are all common knowledge. Yes, they are all my own experience. These artworks like a series of snapshot of my thoughts from my own journey. The reason that I have brought them to the artificial gallery is I wish all of you can back-focus on the beauty and power of nature. Not only do nature let me know about the gravity, but nature also let me know what is representing, supporting and keeping me to move on. So please do touch it, see what answer nature can give you.
