Drawing inspiration from pre-historic culture, folk aesthetics, and cultural anthropology, this work is based on the artist’s residency experience, and serves as a tribute to all agricultural workers in low-elevation mountains from the early days to the modern times, who have labored with bare feet on the ground. By approaching culture through nature, the work engages the audience in re-examining the inseparable relationship between contemporary people and nature.
