Informed by their family background in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), SF Ho draws parallels between principles of TCM and human-ecology relationships, imagining how care for the land can be interpretated as a form of relationality.

Central to the exhibit is the floor sculpture Triple Burner Flower Field made from clay referencing the oracle bone character for 回, the Chinese character for “return to”. The sculpture, surrounded by silk banners hand-dyed with tea and yarrow and printed with oracle bone characters, evokes the plant origins of some of the earliest written characters that would later evolve into Chinese script. Together, these works trace connections between principles of healing and language back to the land that shaped them.
