...a silvery leaf touches the soil

2024｜ Soil from the Athens area, Xuan paper ｜ Diameter 153 cm x H 331 cm

In our living environment, matter and energy circulate silently. Imagine this scenario: when life ends and organic matter is segregated from the body, if its substances cannot be transformed and reused, it will lead to endless accumulation. Recycling is therefore essential for life, both human and non-human. 
Nearly 99.9% of life on earth is made up of 11 elements. By using 11 different colours of soil and rearranging them, along with wave patterns and interlocking structures, I attempt to artistically interpret the organic yet ordered circulation of nature, a process that has neither a beginning nor an end.
