Fruit

Laminated plywood, metal wires, rice paper and tree branches. 2021. Disbanded.

The work Fruit was inspired by the similarity between the animal intestine, plant vascular tissue and the human artifice of plumbings. This tubular structure used for transportation of matter is present in ourselves (the human body), the natural resources we exploit (wood), and the world we set up against the earth (piping and plumbing). Today, the extensive pipeline structures all over the earth almost signifies a mutual extension of our metabolism into nature, and nature's into ours. Gaining its appearance from part of the human intestine and the blood vessels attached to it, this artwork was made to capture the intricate mutual metabolism between our body and nature. This artwork is hanged from the ceiling and indicates a levitation of the "intestine" (laminated plywood, metal wire and rice paper) by the "blood vessel" (branches), mimicking the natural event of fruiting.
