Lam Tung Pang’s The World’s Tree (H361 x 968cm) interlaces images of mountains and trees from diverse species across continents. From the global south to north, east to west, the work envisions nature as an interconnected landscape, where ecosystems and cultures depend on one another for survival.
Juxtaposing forms from different geographies, the painting reflects on environmental interdependence while celebrating cultural diversity. Trees become universal symbols—bearing memory, biodiversity, and human aspiration. Linking past, present, and future, The World’s Tree embodies the principle of Unity in Diversity (Bhinneka Tunggal Ika), reminding us that the flourishing of one landscape sustains the health of all.
林東鵬的《世界樹》(高361 x 968cm)將來自各大洲不同樹種的山脈和樹木交織在一起。從南半球到北半球,由東至西,這幅作品將自然描繪成一個相互連結的景觀,其中文化和生態系統相扶相依,同生共存。
透過並置來自不同地域的形態,這幅畫作一方反思自然生態的相互依存,同時也凸顯文化的多樣性。樹木成為普世的象徵——承載著記憶、生物多樣性和人類的願景。《世界樹》連結過去、現在和未來,體現了「殊途同歸」(Bhinneka Tunggal Ika)的法則,提醒我們一個景觀的蓬勃維繫著全生態的健康。
