Description

The artist works from his memory of rural childhood and upholds the elemental importance of agricultural resources and values, which have been one of the core foundations of our country’s prosperity. 

What happens to a beloved tool of work after its lifespan is completed? Where does it go with the spirit and memories of numerous days embedded with it? The artist has transformed a tool of daily farming life into an allegorical visual with poetic juxtaposition. Once a pillar, the farming heritage is currently eroding as younger people choose different careers.The new generation of farmer families are gradually moving out from farming to different, more globalized jobs now. But then who’ll take care of the land on which we’re so much dependent and we will be so? With a minimalistic visual- the artist brings forward this thoughtful poetic artistry.
