About the Work
Pivotal Tree is a contemporary reinterpretation of the Dangsan Tree, a traditional Korean village guardian tree that symbolizes protection, longevity, and communal connection.
Serving as a symbolic object that conveys peace and well-being amid a chaotic and uncertain modern society, the work presents a vibrant and interactive digital tree within a virtual environment that mirrors the real-world surroundings. Despite being a simulation, the immersive scale and visual fidelity of the work create the illusion of a monumental tree rooted in the actual space.
Through its dedicated website(http://www.pivotaltree.com), visitors were also invited to submit personal messages, which were displayed within the artwork—transforming it into a participatory piece completed through audience interaction.
