\u2022  In 2021, after nurturing the fig tree in Amsterdam for three years, Ian Page transferred it to Donghwan Kam before returning to his homeland. Donghwan Kam took diligent care of the tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022  In 2022, Donghwan Kam participated in the U-Jazdowski artist residency in Warsaw and brought the fig tree along. The timing was perfect, as the compost prepared by the previous resident artist Amy Pekal, was ready and served as excellent fertilizer. Consequently, the fig tree thrived in Warsaw. (Distance from Amsterdam to Warsaw: 1,196 km)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
