PLANTS ON THE MOVE by Plants, Wanlin Jiang
We often admire plants for their steady rootedness, their commitment to one location. But plants-or rather, forests-are perhaps not the firmly moored and reliable places that we might think they are.
Plants move and reproduce primarily through seed dispersal, relying upon animals, winds, and waters to carry their offspring to fertile soils, where they might anchor into the ground and germinate.
I have made a visualisation from black and white to colour by using the collected plant movement trajectories. At the same time, the combination of etching's textural translations gives more emotional value to these mysterious journeys. This series of prints allows the audience to feel the stories of migration told by the plants through the colours and textures of the images, thus provoking the audience to think about the relationship between humans and plants.
What is the connection between the plants’ migration and the ecological systems and human communities that they are leaving behind? What does the movement of these beings tell us about the present and foreshadow for the future?
Medium: Etching, Plant Sculpture

移動中的植物 by Plants, Wanlin Jiang
我們經常羨慕植物的穩定紮根，它們對一個地方的承諾。但是，植物--或者說，森林--也許並不是我們所認為的那種牢固的、可靠的地方。
植物主要通過種子傳播來移動和繁殖，依靠動物、風和水將它們的後代帶到肥沃的土壤中，在那裏它們可能會紮根於地下並發芽。
我利用收集到的植物運動軌跡進行了從黑白到彩色的可視化處理。同時，結合蝕刻的紋理翻譯，為這些神秘的旅程賦予了更多的情感價值。這一系列版畫讓觀眾通過圖像的色彩和紋理感受到植物所講述的遷徙故事，從而引發觀眾對人類和植物之間關系的思考。
植物的遷徙與它們所留下的生態系統和人類社區之間有什麽聯系？這些生命的移動告訴我們現在和預示著未來的什麽？
媒介： 蝕刻畫，植物雕塑
