“Cultivation” by Shu Wei-jung Shu Wei-jung graduated from the Sculpture Department in the Fine Art College at the National Taiwan University of Arts. In the work “Cultivation”, Shu levitated the human body and simplified it into a tilling tool and a pavilion that can provide shelter from the sun and rain, though the work still kept some vestiges of its human shape. If we go inside the work and look up, we can see that the top of the work is filled with squares, rectangles, circles, triangles, saw tooth shapes and other exquisite signs. The floor of the work, with its many equal distance squares, seemingly represents the maze-like patterns that tilling tools make when plowing the land. Shu combined these symbolic signs with the metaphoric form of the levitated human shape to fully describe the inseparable relationship between humans and nature.
