A tree is a living thing. It has a long life cycle that can last for many centuries. But from the long history, still can not escape from a state of reincarnation of life and death. But with each lesson, the trees fall. In the meantime, countless trees have sprung up. We call it a new tree. They will also become another source of nutrients to feed the new tree. This exhibition is presented by the artist in the form of video sculpture. Give me the biggest feeling is the tenacity of vitality. As spring, summer, fall, and winter change, trees are always changing. Just like we humans ourselves. There is no end to generation.

Wise use is the exquisite and refined depiction of realistic objects between the natural, it has a picture called "abstract" refined paintings elements, through the surface into nature, and in his works into subjective ideal and desire of the individual, the objective reality and subjective feeling together, form a thought-provoking art with profound connotation.
In many of Wise's works, he portrays the American pastoral life and draws on the scenes and characters around him. His works are soft in color, delicate in brushwork, delicate in depiction, and sentimental, sad and cold in mood
Throughout the book Nietzsche is going to deny the old system of values which is governed by faith and obedience, and he is going to affirm the new system of values which is governed by life and human will, the former based on God, the latter based on the earth.
Nietzsche likens the coming age to the beginning of human awakening.
The human spirit seems to be in the process of transformation from a humbled camel to a mighty and powerful lion, which foreshadows the arrival of a new life beyond mankind.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
1844-1900
Majesty is one of a group of works based on photographs of ancient trees in the South East of England created by the artist for her exhibition Analogue at the Schaulager, Basel, in spring 2006. It was made from a black and white photograph that Dean took of one of the largest and oldest complete oak trees in England, massively enlarged and printed on four overlapping sections of fibre-based paper. All the area surrounding the tree’s leafless branches and trunk has been overpainted with white gouache, isolating its structure and form. The title is derived from the name of the tree, which is also known as the Fredville Oak, after the estate in Nonington, Kent where it has been growing for centuries with two smaller giant oaks, known as Beauty and Stately. The first of these was also photographed by Dean; it and others in the series are similarly titled or named after the place where they grow: Monkey Puzzle, Crowhurst (reproduced Vischer and Friedli, pp.108 and 110) and Molash.

In the perpetual twilight of the woodland world, trees loom like sinister monoliths out of the gloom. Leaf-mould partially obscures a discarded garment, or a glimpse of creamy flesh. But this isn’t the leafy bower of a Dionysian revel, the sylvan setting of some nymphic adventure or even the stag-haunted gloaming of a woodland tomb.
