This project involves the meticulous planning and execution of large-scale floral installations that explore themes of life, decay, and rebirth, engaging visitors in a dialogue with nature. The installations are complemented by a series of workshops and talks aimed at fostering a deeper appreciation for botanical art and environmental awareness.
