Yuxin was strongly inspired and motivated by the conflict and blend of nature and human-made objects in city life. She believes that trying to understand nature’s messages can be a starting point or turning point for thinking more about sharing with nature.
In cities, vehicles are the main cause of nitrogen pollution.When nitrogen pollution increases, unlike other lichens, Xanthoria parietina, as a nitrogen-loving species, will continue to grow and breed. Because of this property, it begins to act as a natural monitor of nitrogen pollution. But, do we really understand its language? While translating X. parietina’s properties under nitrogen pollution through textiles’ language, Yuxin hopes people could understand more about X. parietina's unique language, and this project also aims to lead people to think more about their living environment and relationship with nature under climate issues.
