Wood from a tree, C-print on cloth
92 x 66 cm
On the anniversary of my grandmother’s death the year before last, I brought along a tin of red paint, to give her a touch of renewed vitality.
I once heard that the roots of a tree can grow very deep. From the tree closest to her grave, I broke off a branch and made it into a wooden frame, to preserve the photo my father took that day with his mobile phone.
Might the deep roots, sprung from the same source as this frame, extend their connection through the soil’s depths to reach her?
前年的祖母死忌，帶了罐紅油，替她添點新氣息。
曾聽說樹的根可以很深，我在最接近她的墓的一棵樹折了根樹枝，將它做成木框，好把父親當天用手提電話照的相片保存下來。
與這木框同源的深根，能延展觸碰到祖母的靈寢嗎？
