In “Wake Up - Reborn in the Nature Series”, Wong shows us her character waking from sleep in a bed of hills. The hills, drawn rather simply as a linked series of rounded forms, comprise her bed, pillow, and coverlet. The message is clear - we are of this earth, it nurtures and sustains us, and so we should all do our best to ensure that we and all future generations can wake up every morning safe, secure and ready to face our life.
“Being attacked and bumped. Being torn and crushed. Then, immersed into the darkness. Reborn in nature, Become each other’s light, Light the way ahead. Reconstruction and was promoted. Being loved and being accepted. Believe that everything is getting better.” “Reborn in the Nature” series represent the situation that we are facing in the civilized society. We destroy the nature for various civilization, ignore the damage to nature, turn the earth to become a dead planet. What if we are the part of nature (we should be)? Soil and grass are part of our skin, the earth is our lovely bed. Let us reborn in nature. In this series, there are three drawings include “Decomposition and Reconstruction”, “Wake up” and “Healing”. Esther used watercolor pencils on paper to create soft texture. Hoping everyone can start thinking about the relationship between nature and us.
