Some trees are cut down to clear space while others are retained to create spaces around them. Tree trunks with no leaves, branches or roots are transplanted in enclosures with artificial rocks and painted backdrops, becoming props to a staged ‘nature’. Processed trees are laid out alongside metal frames, ready to be used as materials for building. Over a long period of time, the trees bend and twist in gentle resistance to the strong winds in Hsinchu, and to the structures put up by man. These images of trees are presented as a looped slideshow.. in a perpetual cycle with no clear order, a beginning or an end.
