Greenhouse Plants
Description
Greenhouse Plants reflects on the complexities of family relationships and the balance between protection and independence. Using traditional Murano techniques, Yanjie creates a series of ornate vessels resembling warm, comforting greenhouses, symbolising the idealised love of parents for their children. The plants growing within represent children longing to break free from the expectations and restrictions placed upon them. Although the glasshouses offer protection, they also confine, questioning whether too much care can prevent growth and independence. Deeply autobiographical, the work reflects Yanjie's own family relationships, once close, yet suffocating. Through distance, she has found space to breathe, grow and develop a greater understanding of one another. The work ultimately explores the possibility of finding freedom while maintaining
familial connection.
