Imaginary Salt Pond

- Let a Hundred Flowers blossom
"Let a hundred flowers blossom" is a common quotation of Chairman Mao Zedong's. This installation is made of hibiscus flowers gathered as a small isle in the center of a salt pond, coloring little by little the water in the pool in red.

- The Blackwater
The Blackwater was the name the expanse of sea between India and the Caribbean in the early 19th Century. This body of water represented the unknown of the new world for the Indians that were forced across the sea to work as indentured servants under the British Empire through out the Caribbean colonies. This black salt-pond is a physical metaphor of the mystery that many individuals faced when they were brought on ships to cross the sea into the unknown.

- Wish on the Wind
We humans all live, depending on nature. We think about whether or not we live well whenever we are embarrassed, devastated, or degraded by nature. I hope that I can remember that nature and life are in harmonious cycles within nature that has changed rapidly through a salt pond.

- Green Mind

Green is the color of plants, nature and growth. this is the color of the outside and inside at the same time to prove it to be still alive. I will make and cultivate my little salt pond in my mind through the tea leaves.
