The garden is outlined by a large steel ring like an empty fence, it traces the edge of the room where, on the ground, the earth drop shaped forms contain a large number of different plants.
It seems that nature comes back to life in the bare soil, plants will establish new bonds between them to start a new plant community.
The water will fall from the ring for 5 minutes every hour during the day, like a clock it will establish a new time of the garden.
During the night time the water ring became a ring of light. Visitors are invited to walk through the curtain water, a metaphorical journey that crosses the boundary between nature, human intervention to find a individual time and space of inspiration.
The simplicity of garden emphasizes the dynamic interaction of the materials and their transformative and ecological potential. It challenges visitors to rethink humanity’s role within the larger narrative of the planet, making the garden not just a space to observe and experience, but a threshold for transformation and reflection.
