The Forest of Strayer from Jara Island; The Space 36

 branches from Jara Island, wire, variable installation, 2011

In my memory, Jalasum was a forest of small Island which is full of many different plants on the river.

I saw a heap of branches on the cold flower after they lost land by human.

How cold… How horrible… How sad…

I made a forest for them on the water to look their original figure what the end of branches forwarded to sky.

This is “ The Forest of Strayer” which is float on the water without roots.

When Spring come, so the ice turn to water, they will start their long and hard journey.

The weak and feeble branches connect together without roots to be their own forest and fight against strong winter wind.

For remind your lost forest.

Installation on Bookhangang river (Gapyeng Korea) from 12th to 21st January 2011.

記憶中這座小島上的森林Jalasum有一條養育豐富物種的河流。我在成堆的殘枝中發現盛開的一朵小花，冰冷的、恐懼的、痛心的看著人類將森林摧毀。
我比照原本的森林為它們重建一個小型的家園。我的流浪者森林沒有根，它在水上漂浮，與天連成一線。待春暖花開，冰雪融化，它將順著河流開始漫長的旅程。
