The exhibition theme "The Great Rising Tree" is derived from Rainer Maria Rilke's Duino Elegies and The Sonnets to Orpheus, specifically the line "There rose a tree. O pure transcendence! O Orpheus sings! O tall tree in the ear!" Rilke pays homage to the mythical poet Orpheus, embodying pure aesthetic pleasure and the pursuit of free will. Like a tree that rises in the gray wilderness, a straight tree dances gracefully, singing in the ear, illuminating people in the east and the west, and ceasing within the grove. Depicting the landscape, yet stripped away by the wind. This exhibition showcases over twenty new works by Xie Xuanxuan in recent years, maintaining her purity, joyfulness, and playfulness, continuing her translation of myths and fairy tales filled with childlike wonder and philosophical reflection. The visual impact and dramatic tension inherent in mythology and fairy tales merge with reality, presenting the artist's exploration of the possibilities between daily life and myths, society and emotions.
