1/1 original painting, acrylic on canvas, 2019, 36x48in (91x122cm) Artist: QiuChen Fan Token Medium: JPEG image | File Dimensions: 2272x2938 | File Size: 2.7 MB * Physical artwork is NOT included with this 1/1 NFT. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This series was initially inspired by retro wallpaper patterns as a paradoxical response to biophilia (human’s desire to be near nature) through using the artificial to heal longings for the real. The green plant here symbolizes nature, vitality and endurance. The pot-like imagery representing human impact looks awkward and discordant regarding to its connection with the plant. As a metaphor of technological supremacy, the sci-fi-like background is processed as color blocks without any sign of life, even without shadows of the plant. In the form of a eulogy to all the house plants we’ve killed, each plant portrait here is a reflection on the ambivalent relationship among human, nature and technology.
