GROWING-THROUGH

A design for a two-year outdoor installation created for the International Garden Festival at Les Jardins de Métis (Reford Gardens) with the theme 'BORDERS'. The installation illustrates how nature deals with artificial boundaries created by humans. Concrete objects placed in conflict with willow patches demonstrate various spatial concepts of barriers and their overcoming. By using willow rods that will take root and grow through the whole time of the exhibition, the installation continuously evolves, showing how the environment adapts to the impacts of insensitive human interventions.
