	Title: meet the world, Wollemia Nobilis This collection of work is a visual metaphor. It depicts a phenomenon in an era of global mobility. Wollemia Nobilis is a majestic Jurassic age tree, with less than 100 adults known to exist in hidden canyons in Australia. When it was introduced to the world as a decorative plant, it quickly adapted to different environments around the globe. Metaphor Wollemia Nobilis has a mixed complex; it retains the primitive bubbly tree bulk but its gesture and colours reflect its new environments. This is a story of our times, in which people travel around the globe and experience different parts of the world, and in the process adopted new characteristics into their original appearances. This work celebrates the discovery of a rare and ancient plant. It also depicts a phenomenon in the human world, at the time of the discovery of this Wollemi Pine (scientific name, Wollemia Nobilis).
