对跖（zhí）点是地球同一直径的两个端点。它带来一种空间维度上的想象，假如此时我们低下头，想象地球是一个透明的球体，那么在球体的另一端会有一个人或者一个物与我们刚好相对。所以某位置的对跖点是该位置在地球上距离最远的地方，例如昆明捞⻥河湿地公园的经纬度是:北纬24° 49' ，东经77° 11' 左右, 那么它的对跖点是 :南纬24° 49' , 西经77° 11'的地方，那里是南美洲智利海岸附近的一片海域。这个作品用最直接的方式——用一棵倒立的水杉树让人们体验一个事实：地球是圆的。如果一棵来自对跖点的树穿过地球，它可能就是这样倒立着到达我们面前。昆明的捞鱼河与南美洲的一片海域也有着联系。
Antipodes are two points directly opposite each other on the Earth. The concept provides an imaginary reference in the spatial dimension: if we were to look down at our feet, and imagine the Earth to be transparent, there would be a person or object corresponding to our position on the opposite side. The antipode of a particular location is the farthest point on the planet from said location. For example, if the coordinates of the Laoyuhe Wetland Park are approximately 24°49’N, 77°11’E, then its antipode is located at 24°49’S, 77°11’W, which is a spot in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Chile in South America. This artwork uses the most direct of methods—a wetland sequoia placed upside down—to allow the viewer to directly experience a fact: the Earth is round. If a tree from the antipode were to traverse the Earth, it would likely appear before us in this upside-down fashion. In this way, Kunming's Laoyuhe and a patch of ocean off the coast of South America are intertwined.
