A Message for You is an installation composed of six cotton flannel panels created during the artist residency at BIGCi Centre, in the Wollemi National Park, Australia. Each panel was gently wrapped around ancient Angophora trees, whose deeply fissured bark recalls wounds and whose red resin is traditionally associated with healing properties.
In this work, the resin becomes the true author. It stains the white fabric, leaving traces, marks and colors like a silent form of natural writing. The artist’s gesture is one of listening and care: the trees are poetically bandaged, while the fabric receives their message.
Visitors were invited to touch, embrace and rest against the trees, rediscovering a slow and respectful contact with the living world. The panels can be exhibited vertically or horizontally, like scrolls, relics or prayers.
The work was created at a time marked by wars and human suffering. As nature too reveals its wounds and sheds its own red “blood,” the act of bandaging the trees becomes a symbolic gesture of healing addressed to all wounded bodies.
A Message for You is not a message invented by the artist, but one received from the trees themselves: a message of connection, care and mutual belonging. The installation invites viewers to reconsider nature not as a distant landscape, but as a shared condition of vulnerability, healing and interdependence.
《给你的讯息》 是一件由六块棉质法兰绒布面组成的装置作品，创作于艺术家在澳大利亚沃勒迈国家公园 BIGCi Centre 驻留期间。每一块布面都被轻柔地缠绕在古老的 Angophora 树上。这些树木的树皮布满深深的裂痕，令人联想到伤口，而它们流出的红色树脂，在原住民传统中被认为具有疗愈的力量。
在这件作品中，树脂成为真正的作者。它浸染白色织物，在表面留下痕迹、印记与色彩，如同一种无声的自然书写。艺术家的动作是一种聆听与照护：树木被诗意地包扎，而织物则接收来自它们的讯息。
观众曾被邀请触摸、拥抱并倚靠这些树木，重新发现与生命世界之间缓慢而尊重的接触。六块布面既可以垂直展示，也可以水平展开，如同卷轴、圣物或祈祷。
这件作品诞生于一个被战争与人类苦难所标记的时代。当自然也显露自身的伤口，并流出它红色的“血液”时，包扎树木的行为便成为一种象征性的疗愈姿态，献给所有受伤的身体。
《给你的讯息》 并不是艺术家发明的讯息，而是从树木自身接收到的讯息：关于连接、照护与相互归属的讯息。作品邀请观众重新思考自然，不再将其视为遥远的风景，而是视为一种共同的状态：脆弱、疗愈与相互依存。
