“On the Inside Looking Out” - Queens Botanical Garden Project 2021
“Unbalanced Burden” Last summer I exhibited on the Green Roof in the Queens Botanical Garden. During the completion go the work at home, I have witnessed the incomparable burden on essential workers in New York. I wanted to express the unbearable weight on them, with gratitude from the bottom of my heart.
“Imprint of the Summer” last summer these pieces were exhibited on the Green Roof right above among wild flowers. Now 3 feet long piece is placed vertically, overwrapping 2 images in one with light coming through, following the course of light, reflecting water.
Queens Botanical Garden Project - Dry Garden
As a part of Garden Project, outdoor installation is seen Green Roof of Queens Botanical Garden, New York.
Inspired by Karesansui gardens in Japan - made of only rocks, or gardens which create a beautiful contrast between greenery and white rocks and sand - I created a dry garden with abstract paintings. The garden expresses a Buddhist worldview about absolute minimalism, and the paintings stand to be rocks who keep century-old stories.
Karesansui gardens are not meant for strolling, but for contemplation; they are made for visitors to focus their gaze on as they consider the meaning of space.
Situate yourself in the garden and you will arrive at the Zen spiritual concept of nothingness. While world is overflowing with noise, the appeal of the karesansui garden lies in its place as a sanctuary to separate yourself from the chatter and quietly engage in self-reflection.
This event is curated by AnkhLave Arts Alliance and made possible in part by the Queens Council on the Arts with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
