Environmental art, Photography, Newspaper | 2 Months in 2020

The deforestation of trees has been getting worse and worse. We should think about how to repay the nature. I used the most childlike way to repay the nature, fill the nature product - papers back into nature. This action is certainly useless, but I want to use this absurd behavior to arouse people to think about how to really return to nature.

FIELD TRIP

On a walk in the mountains, I saw many trees that had been painted and carved by people, which made me wonder how we should respect these trees. Having identified newspapers as the main material, I looked at the textures of many trees.

WEEK - 1 WEEK - 2 WEEK - 3

TESTING 2

I made a lot of models out of Chevy boards and newspapers to imitate the texture and feature of different type of

trees. Then according to the test results, I drew some sketch of the final product.

TESTING 1

I found that the newspaper is very good water imbibition, then I put

some seeds into a newspaper with water, after three weeks, it finally sprouted. This proves that newspaper have vitality and it can

replace some living things in nature.
