Tia-Thuy Nguyen - Flower of life
Artist Tia-Thuy N'guyen has given a new lease of life to one of the estate's oak trees. After a complete makeover, the tree is reborn.
The oak has remained motionless, but it is no longer indifferent to the movements around it. The wind that used to move its leaves and branches now creates reflections; a ray of sunlight makes it glow, and at night, the headlights of an approaching car illuminate it.
The Life and Energy of 'Flower of Life' comes not only from the work itself, but also from its connection with the world around it. Waiting for these interactions to take place turns the visitor into a "hunter" in search of emotion, like a child playing hide-and-seek.
The light allows itself to be trapped by the artist's games. It creates an infinite loop, repeating itself day after day without the viewer ever seeing the same scene twice. With her mischievous and ingenious creativity, Tia creates a spectacle of nature, a never-ending mechanism powered by the cyclical energy of the universe.
