When we merge these symbolic elements with the significance of trees, a powerful narrative emerges. Trees, with their roots firmly grounded in the earth and branches reaching towards the sky, embody the essence of life and continuity. They represent the interconnectedness of all living beings and the cyclical nature of existence. The color red, with its dual associations of life and death, further emphasizes the profound symbolism of trees, illustrating their role as witnesses to the continuous cycle of birth, growth, decay, and rebirth.

Yuhe Liu was born in 1997 in China and currently based in London. She is an artist whose practice delves into the profound connection between the human body and the natural world.

Liu's artistic expression centers around the use of substantial materials, land art, and interactive installations. By employing these diverse mediums, she creates immersive environments that invite viewers to engage with the artwork and contemplate their own relationship with the natural world. Through her sculptural works, Liu seeks to bridge the gap between the physicality of the body and the organic beauty of nature, ultimately blurring the boundaries that separate the two.

In her future studies, Liu aspires to delve deeper into the essence of life itself. Drawing inspiration from philosophical and spiritual inquiries, she aims to uncover the fundamental truths that govern human existence and its intrinsic connection to the natural environment. Through her artistic practice, Liu aims to provoke introspection and dialogue, encouraging viewers to reevaluate their place within the intricate tapestry of life and nature.

As she continues to evolve as an artist, Liu's exploration of the body and nature promises to illuminate the intricate relationships that shape our existence. Through her works, she invites us on a transformative journey, where the boundaries between the human form and the natural world dissolve, revealing the profound unity that lies at the core of our being.
