Nature’s patterns are a mesmerizing testament to its artistry and design. From the delicate fractals of ferns to the powerful silhouettes of ancient trees, every detail carries a story of life and growth. These patterns reveal the deep connection between all things and the passage of time. In their textures, one can observe echoes of history and the immense forces that shaped them.
As a land artist and photographer, I’ve spent countless hours immersed in nature’s wonders, uncovering the raw beauty that often goes unnoticed. Wood, in particular, became a central material for my artistic creations when I moved to the East Rift Valley of Taiwan. Surrounded by dense forests and breathtaking landscapes shaped by powerful rivers that carry stones, sand, and broken trees from the rugged central mountains of Taiwan, I feel inspired to translate this natural magic into decorative art.
When I stumble upon unique natural elements like stones or wood, a vision of a sculpture or ornament often springs to life in my mind. If the opportunity allows, I collect these treasures and work to manifest that vision, which leads to the creation of DRYAD.
In Greek mythology, a dryad is a tree spirit, a name that felt perfect to represent my work. It resonates deeply, especially as I’ve often been playfully referred to as a forest elf—a connection that encapsulates my love for nature and my artistic spirit.
