In Love, Wild, Lawn, Xie Rong (also known as Echo Morgan) layers wildflowers and weeds gathered from her own front garden into a dense, organic composition. Across her face, a single character reads: Love.

The cultivated front lawn is often a symbol of order, pride and conformity — a carefully maintained marker of belonging. By allowing the grass to grow higher and the weeds to flourish, Xie Rong proposes an alternative ethic: one of openness rather than control. What is typically cut back or removed becomes central.

Weeds, like marginalised identities, are defined as unwanted only within imposed systems of value. Here, unruliness becomes generative. The work reframes wild growth as a gesture of inclusion — a quiet resistance to homogeny.

While more contemplative than her durational performances, the print retains the political charge of Xie Rong’s wider practice. Vulnerability and defiance coexist, held within a simple but potent word: Love.

Produced in a limited edition of 100.
