The Story of Us and Leaf Painting Workshop

The rooftop of Hearthplate@CPI is wrapped in trees on a breezy autumn morning. Just like CPI’s respect for the location of the original trees, we believe that the living state of the trees is linked by the relationship between people and the trees, and the artist Ngai Frui Lian led the partners from Songtsam to reminisce and feel the location and connection of the trees in our life together.

After sharing the story of the creation of the “Tree Stories” series, Nivrillian brought her own acrylic texture prints, and using the leaves collected from CPI Island, invited the participants to paint their own “Tree Stories” on the canvas. Through tree stories, they change the way we see ourselves and the natural world, and can even help us understand each other in ecologically challenging times.
