Liangliang and Eva
In December 2024,
I sat next to a tree named Eva,
for three days and three nights without speaking.
I was in the homeland of the PGA K’NYAU indigenous people,
in northern Thailand’s old-growth forests.
In those days of stillness,
I felt the Earth’s deep wisdom, compassion, and love.
I realized
what we need isn’t more technology,
but more connection.
To feel, with our whole being,
that our lives are one with the fate of the Earth.
Ecofeminism, for me, means reconnection.
Moving beyond “right” or “wrong”,
return to the present moment——
to reconnect with the living beings around us,
and to feel the quiet miracle of breathing together.
Gaia Commons brings together artists, educators, researchers, and ecological community members from China and across the world. Through art and action, we explore how we can reconnect with the living Earth. This exhibition links eco-feminism with everyday life in schools, communities, farms, and art spaces. Together, we reimagine the Earth not as property but as commons—a living field of shared becoming.

and all the human and more-than-human companions
who have made Gaia Commons possible.
