Appreciation towards Ellen Rutt for providing the following description:

“没有什么彼此分离：与自然协作”是由来自底特律的跨媒体艺术家Ellen Rutt创作的一项实验旅行装置，也是她在夏威夷西洛的旅居作品之一。Rutt将一些涂上颜色的木制模块放置在壮丽、独特而孤独的岛屿上，借此来探索人类与自然以及人造环境之间的关系。鲜艳的色彩和令人熟悉的形状将我们的思绪带入一种理想化的审美模式。

‘Nothing Is Separate: A Collaboration with Nature,’ is an experimental, traveling installation created by Detroit-based mixed-media artist Ellen Rutt as part of Temple Children’s artist residency in Hilo, Hawaii. By creating intuitive compositions of painted, repurposed wood shapes and costumes at several of the island’s majestic, distinct and isolated terrains, Rutt explores the complex relationship humans have with both natural and constructed environments. The bright colors and familiar shapes signal our attraction to aesthetics and modes of idealized presentation.

“我得承认自身的矛盾性，以及我们人类在道德上的双重标准：我们一边歌颂着自然世界的神圣，一边又在自知或不自知地为自然的毁灭添砖加瓦。我们一方面认识到了生存有着无限的可能，一方面又例行公事般地参与着世俗的生活。”——Ellen Rutt

“I’m acknowledging my own contradictions and our collective moral flexibility – how we are simultaneously celebrating the sacredness of the natural world, while also engaging in practices that knowingly or unknowingly contribute to its destruction. We are balanced on a continuum between understanding the infinite nature of existence and participating in the mundane routine of everyday life.” – Ellen Rutt
