Colorful installation art pieces adorn a lush green park. This artwork made in the shape of plant seeds at the center of a pond symbolizing life conveys a message of hope in a dangerous world. A labyrinth of colorful ropes underneath the trees prompts visitors to slow down and look back on their fast-paced lives. Works made with dead tree branches embracing live trees convey the artist's message of the importance of co-existence and circulation.

[Soundbite] Park Soo-jeong(Curator, Suwon Art Center) : "This exhibition teaches people how to communicate with plants and inspires them to ponder their relations with nature and the environment."

The exhibition, where even children can learn and have fun in close proximity to nature, will run through August 19.
