WORKSHOP#3 - FINAL

HEALING




Similar to the natural environment Australia used to be more than 200 years ago, people have constructed buildings and roads. With awareness to global warming and relevant environmental issues impacting the future of the human race (as well as other living organisms), tree-planting is used as a restore nature. However, upon re-construction, though it may seem as a whole unit itself, it is inevitable that changes have occurred and would never return to the original form.

My material exploration with balsawood is used simply by tearing/breaking a strip of wood and piecing it back. To portray my idea of healing and the aspect of change, pieces have deliberately been omitted during the re-construction.
