This book narrates the story of a mushroom whose individual consciousness awakens and leads it to encounter companions and the mushroom community. It gradually gains an understanding of the interdependence between mushrooms, trees, ants, and nature. In the end, it is plucked and consumed by a human, completing the interaction between mushrooms and people.

I aim to convey the intricate and vital relationships among various species in the natural world, reminding people to respect and reflect upon our way of coexistence with nature in a symbiotic environment.

During the Work-In-Process Show, I hosted a mushroom-picking activity for visitors who interested in my work. Each mushroom was adorned with a small visual element representing the occurrence of mushroom language. Depicting the mushroom language system helps bridge the gap between humans and mushrooms. Through this activity, I explained the symbiotic relationships and interactions between species that I have consistently conveyed.

The mycelium decomposes and absorbs nutrients through the secretion of enzymes, subsequently giving rise to its fruiting body—the mushroom, which releases spores for reproduction. This series comprises three illustrations depicting the mycelium 'consuming' animal and human remains, as well as decomposing dead branches and leaves.

The cover features two individuals poised to eat mushrooms, with a towering structure in the center composed of a mushroom intertwined with other life forms. This cover conveys a sense of symbiotic balance and interaction.

My info and the title

My project was divided into two parts for display in different locations at the exhibition due to limited space. This is the first part, primarily featuring my printings and ceramic frames. I attempted to create a connection with my other exhibit using tree stumps and several mushroom ceramics.

Here is another part of my work

Symbiotic Tower - This ceramic artwork is composed of mushrooms, snails, ants, and spiders. I attempted to use this design to convey the concept of balance formed by the symbiosis of mushrooms with other organisms.

But based on limited time, I didn’t finish it with the based board. And the drawings inside are just sketches.

Regarding this book project, I hope it can serve as a vessel that integrates my year-long research and artistic abilities to convey the depth of my research findings. I aim for it to become a more effective medium for disseminating this knowledge to a wider audience.

Book fair and art market will be a part in my future plan. So I would like to participate in this group.
