From the point of nature, a tree, the space of land is a symbol of people in the city’s scope of activities. Humans with their limitations have evolved and expanded, fringing on nature’s limited resources. How can this balance between human development and the preservation of nature be observed? This is a constant goal for all of us at this time. How much more does humankind need to do to achieve this balance?
By using the concept of a red line to crop out the space of a cautions land and using bright alarming colors to warn against uncontrolled development by humankind, we highlight the danger of these actions. This is in the hope for viewers to understand our works deeply and be able to see the differences between inside and outside of these red zones.
