Old trees may die, while people may take pieces of them. These fragments do not contain their previous souls and vitality. By digitizing live trees and their signs of life, I can let them live in the virtual world and grow forever.
樹木死去,即使人們強行保存它們的碎片,但其靈魂及生命力已不復存在。數碼化活樹及其生命跡象,能令它們活在虛擬世界,永久生長。
Alice Ho is a Hong Kong-based visual artist who sees art as a path to spiritual enlightenment and self-understanding. Her artistic journey has taken her from computer graphics to lighting design and now to bio art, enabling her to explore diverse perspectives and create more impactful works. Alice's interests lie in the philosophy of life and religion. and she is currently investigating life transformation between plants and microorganisms in her recent art project. According to Alice, the meaning of everything is subject to change based on time and place, but this does not mean that things are destroyed. Rather, they transform into new forms of existence. For her, life is eternal, and the beauty of life is in the transformation between the forms of existence.
