WWW
2024

With the widespread adoption of hybrid breeding, led by major seed companies to boost yield and production stability, the diversity of seeds and old varieties are steadily disappearing from the modern agriculture.

WWW stands for We, Wheat, Weave. It is an research project that collects diverse wheat and cereal varieties from places I have lived and visited. Supported by the local community and using traditional weaving techniques, these materials are continuously crafted into a growing, basket-like sculpture that incorporates wheat ears, plant roots, and the weeds growing among the grains in each field.

This blend of materials creates a coarse, vibrant texture and shifting patterns, embodying a vision of ecological diversity and portraying my impressions of different fields.

The project has been presented as one of the special projects in the thematic exhibition area Eat: Transformative Seeds at  Singapore Design Week 2024.


Medium:Material: Wheat, rice and cereal stalks, ears and roots.
