Artwork Title: “Above the Driftwood”
Literary Origin: Walden
Original Quote: "Trees stand stripped and barren, yet point to heaven."
Author Background:
Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
A representative figure of American nature writing, advocating for simple living and close connection with nature. Walden records his daily observations during his solitary life by the lake, exploring how nature regenerates order after collapse.
Modern Interpretation:
Even when fallen, a tree retains its direction. An end is not a disappearance, but a different way of existing.
Design Interpretation:
This piece centers around driftwood, simulating a life carried away by water yet not abandoned by nature. The wood no longer grows, but becomes a point of attachment for moss, wetland plants, and water.
Above the water, pearlwort blooms like fireworks, symbolizing the "bloom of vitality." Beneath the water, an ecosystem cycle continues to operate. It is not a finished landscape, but a process unfolding—how life continues to stand after falling.

Educational Insight | Wetland Ecosystems?
Wetlands are not merely waterlogged areas but highly functional ecosystems. Periodic water level changes encourage plants to develop aerenchyma tissue in their roots, transporting oxygen to oxygen-depleted mud layers and sustaining microbial activity. Decaying wood in water serves as an attachment substrate for bacteria and fungi, supporting the entire food chain. These environments effectively retain nutrients, making them hotspots for biological evolution and adaptation.
