Lemon tree, Paint
Shang-Yi Hua
The material of this sculpture is difficult to decipher at first glance, and its form is counterintuitive. The piece is constructed from a dead lemon tree with an intact root system, coated with rubber paint. It is displayed root-end up, in acknowledgement of the fact that the visible world is only a partial picture of the whole.
