Wishulada Panthanuvong’s exhibition "Adaptation: The Coexistence of "Trace" and "Transformation" is an artistic work that depicts the evolution of an expanding metropolis. The environment bears witness to the transformations that have transpired due to human activity and urbanization. Despite the damage, artist Wishulada turns the rubble into a beacon of hope, with the inscription "Trace". While the message of "Transformation" from past mistakes seeks to guide people away from destructive habits and toward a more sustainable way of life.

noble PLAY and Wishulada Panthanuvong share a common goal to enhance environmental awareness, encourage the use of waste resources, and develop the environment for optimum advantage through this exhibition. Works in the exhibition are created from a variety of construction waste materials; these artworks challenge the conventional wisdom about "worthless things that everyone overlooks." The artist's work also encourages people to think about the complex interactions between humans, the environment, and the metropolis.

This exhibition delves into the underlying significance of adaptability and sustainable cohabitation in a fast-changing world, utilizing art as a communication tool to encourage visitors to reflect on their own role in society and the environment.

The artist Wishulada creates works through questioning and discovery to inspire people to 'remember' the lessons of past unfriendly environmental actions, 'adapt' their way of life, be conscious of how to make the best use of available resources, and collaborate to create a sustainable future.

Three-Tree Transformation

"Installation Art" repurposes construction materials such steel bars, pipes, bricks, tile and cement to create "Three-Tree Transformation," which may assume three distinct forms for Halloween, Christmas, and Chinese New Year festivities.

The exhibition invites viewers to ponder and question the essence of coexistence in a multicultural society, while also providing a fresh space for learning and exchanging ideas. Encourage everyone to adapt, open their minds to tolerate differences, and reconsider their stance on coexistence.

A "Concrete Jungle Blossoms"

Enter a fantastical realm where construction debris takes the form of trees, complete with sturdy trunks and branches that extend across the exhibition space.

Recycled plastic bottles and plastic bags, as well as multicolored vinyl pieces, are braided into leaves, flowers, and fruits to make a magnificent tree transformation.

While the box made of vinyl remnants is a sobering reminder of the effects of consumer culture, it is also a hopeful sign of the potential for repurposing unwanted items into art that raises environmental consciousness.

The "Concrete Jungle Blossoms" initiative brings together urbanites, nature, and the built environment. The strategically placed benches invite visitors to pause, converse, exchange ideas, and build small communities that develop in tandem with the tree transformation.
