Wild Flowers
Weeds are the unsung characters in urban environments, sprouting from cracks in pavements and walls. In the obscure nooks and corners of Block 262 in Waterloo Street, there are little flowers, plants and weeds growing -- attesting to an understated but vibrant ecology coexisting with human architecture. Robert Zhao's new work depicts these tiny but hardy vegetative denizens (some as small as 2cm tall) in a series of lightboxes. On one side of the lightbox, a taxonomic photograph shows these minute specimens many thousand times their actual size, allowing viewers to appreciate the complexity of their design. The other side of the lightbox will be painted a shade of green that is taken from the plant, providing an intense and amplified aesthetic encounter with their hues.
