From a distance:
The image appears stable and unchanging.
This reflects the surface-level perception of nature. When we observe nature in a broad, macro, and cursory way, we tend to regard it as stable, static, and seemingly unaffected by subtle human actions.
Up close:
Subtle shifts at the bottom of the frame.
When we magnify our perspective and look closely, we begin to notice delicate flows and hidden changes. Human attempts to reshape nature often bring about invisible impacts; even if we cannot easily perceive them, they are still unfolding.
The work explores the subtle yet persistent impact of human intervention on natural landscapes. The visual layer is created from an instant photo, soaked in local water from the site where it was taken. The sound explored the movement and energy between soil and humans through field recording, microsound, object-based recording and elements of chance music.

Human existence is essentially "thrown" into the world, soil and land symbolise the foundation and limitations of human existence, carrying the cycle and transformation of life. This project aims to explore the deep relationship between human and nature, their interaction and conflict. Can we truly live in harmony with nature as we try to "measure" and "understand" it? Or we can only ever touch the surface. From soil and earth, we begin to find movement - irregular lines, textures of varied grain, scattered fragments of sound. One day, almost suddenly, we return to the sensation of having been ‘thrown’ into the world. Between the quiet trembling of unease and a pulsing sense of life, we reach out with our hands, tracing the roots we need in order to breathe.
