Nice to Meet You
2022
New Taipei City, Taiwan
More than once, I have witnessed the aftermath of cutting down a tree in my neighborhood — an image that is not easily observed when the tree is still alive, so I get goosebumps when I come across the scene. It made me ponder: the same section of the trunk, and I wanted to “see” her in a gentler light.
I decided to sketch the cross-section of the other survival trees, with indirect and gingerly observations and hugging touches. I wanted to draw the outline of the ring that would not be visible before the tree was cut down, and silently wish we would never see each other face to face.
