This installation creates an open space and time in which we can share the delight of life within the universe. In collaboration with experts and students from architecture, art and design, and particle physics, the “Garden” was installed at IdeaSquare, a design and innovation platform at CERN. When natural light passes through the artisanal silk threads dyed in Kyoto, a moment of fluctuation emerges. As a part of the architectural whole, it enhances the experience of observing an ever-changing landscape.
