The Story of Ginkgo Seedling


This Hibaku Ginkgo was planted in an elephant foot pot for Neo Integrity exhibition at Derek Eller Gallery. After the show, this Ginkgo seedling was given to Elaine Ng of Art Asia Pacific Magazine.

This pic is the Ginkgo with the staff of AAP Magazine (from left to right, clockwise): Julie Yeung, Alis Atwell, Joon Mo Kang, HG Masters, Hanae Ko, Ashley Rawlings, and then Jesse Senje Yuan.
