筷子樹

Tree of Chopsticks

油畫

oil painting

120cm×100cm　2009

黑色的背景中，一株貌似金碧輝煌的大樹枝繁葉茂、光彩奪目。然而近觀，卻不免讓人心生愧疚，那是一株由無數把一次性筷子拼扎的大樹，正孤獨地佇立在干涸龜裂的土地上。我們賴以生存的環境，正被所謂的工業文明不斷破壞，被人類日益增長的消費欲望所吞噬。作品用一種近似荒誕的表現手法，發出了充滿反諷和批評的警示，令人觸目驚心。

On a black background, the luxuriant foliage of a tree seemingly made of glittering gold dazzles the eyes. A closer perspective brings a guilty feeling to viewers as they realize that this huge “tree”, which stands alone on the dried and cracked earth, is the result of the piecing together of countless pairs of disposable chopsticks. Our so-called industrial civilization is continuously damaging the environment in which we survive, and our surroundings are being devoured by humanity's growing desire to consume. The artist employs a quasi-absurd expression technique to issue a satirical and critical warning in his shocking work.
