GLOWING GARDEN invites people to experience the surreal world through the eyes of a butterfly. Using specialized light technology, the garden transforms hundreds of orchids and other flowers into glowing, luminous artworks, revealing an unseen dimension of nature.

‍

Insects like butterflies perceive light differently from humans, especially ultraviolet wavelengths. GLOWING GARDEN brings this invisible world to life by incorporating specific wavelengths that create an enchanting luminescence in the plants. The flowers' natural beauty is enhanced without altering their ecological balance, avoiding the use of GMOs or artificial coatings.

‍

Created in collaboration with expert biologists, GLOWING GARDEN ensures the well-being of the plants while delivering a sustainable, magical experience. As night falls, the garden becomes a glowing landscape, attracting pollinators and unveiling the hidden connections between plants and their environment. Alongside the glowing flowers, the installation features illuminated trees and millipedes, immersing people in a living artwork that sparks curiosity and reflection.

This project is a homage to biodiversity, inspiring a renewed connection to the natural world. Designed for future exhibitions in gardens worldwide, GLOWING GARDEN allows people to capture its mesmerizing beauty, as most of its photos were taken with an iPhone.

Step into a world of glowing wonder and experience nature like never before.
