PROJECT BACKGROUND

Humans and nature share many similarities. They both have a life cycle, and everything ages over time. We can see evidence of time passing in the rings of trees and wrinkles on human skin. When life ends, both humans and things in nature decompose and return to the earth. After a period, they are reborn, and a new life cycle begins. The saying "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust" is often used to describe the cycle of life. According to legend, the earth's materials came from the decomposed body of Pangu. Similarly, when humans die, their bodies are buried underground and decompose. These ideas inspired me to create this collection to explore the relationship between humans and nature.
