The Tree of Life
A collaboration between Nanyang Girls’ High School and Nanyang Kindergarten. Claywork and hand prints, 2007
The crown of the tree is composed of wildlife, supported here by a community of man who are portrayed as the trunk and roots of the tree. This reflects the close relationship between mankind and other species. The disproportionate size is meant to invoke in the viewer the critical question of whether our efforts of conservation are sufficient. On a lighter note, the tiny seedling amidst the roots signifies hope for a brighter future, a hope that is reflected in the messages from the children from Nanyang Kindergarten.
