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

移动中的植物 by Plants, Wanlin Jiang
我们经常羡慕植物的稳定扎根，它们对一个地方的承诺。但是，植物--或者说，森林--也许并不是我们所认为的那种牢固的、可靠的地方。
植物主要通过种子传播来移动和繁殖，依靠动物、风和水将它们的后代带到肥沃的土壤中，在那里它们可能会扎根于地下并发芽。
我利用收集到的植物运动轨迹进行了从黑白到彩色的可视化处理。同时，结合蚀刻的纹理翻译，为这些神秘的旅程赋予了更多的情感价值。这一系列版画让观众通过图像的色彩和纹理感受到植物所讲述的迁徙故事，从而引发观众对人类和植物之间关系的思考。
植物的迁徙与它们所留下的生态系统和人类社区之间有什么联系？这些生命的移动告诉我们现在和预示着未来的什么？
媒介： 蚀刻画，植物雕塑
