Inspired by the connection between an old marabutan and local residents as well as how the tree has brought people together, the work begins with copying a single fallen marabutan leaf to approach the imagination of a marabutan having 260,000 leaves . Departing from the lush imagery of marabutan leaves and aerial roots, the paper sculpture colored with plant dyes reveals sprawling roots and poetic strings of flowers that seem to grow endlessly in the space.
