Garden Sculptures
2016-present
Garden Sculptures is a series inspired by the idea that "gardens always mean something else; man absolutely uses one thing to say another," as expressed by Robert Harbison. The project explores how gardens, through their beauty and structure, often carry deeper meanings about nature, control, and transformation.
In this series, a combination of paper collage and oil paintings on wood captures the tension between the organic and the constructed. The collage offers a dynamic, fragmented interpretation of the garden’s transience, while the oil paintings evoke permanence and solidity, transforming natural forms into sculptural representations that blur the boundaries between nature and human intervention.
Garden Sculptures reflect on how gardens, as both real and symbolic spaces, serve as a canvas for human expression. Through these works, the garden becomes a metaphor for how we shape and reinterpret the natural world, imbuing it with layers of meaning beyond its surface.
