Picture a meadow just as winter surrenders to spring. Tiny buds blossom in the sun and sway in the breeze. Whether natives or exotics they never fail to delight.

Now imagine this field blooming with light. Spread over a grassy bank, giant flowers of light seem to furl and unfurl. In this installation, each ‘flower’ comprises six LED strips radiating from a central point. The strips arc in kinetic curves that splay petals of light onto the grass. As they simulate the process of budding, this constant dynamic mirrors the ongoing bloom of flora throughout our landscapes.

Country represented by installation: The Kingdom of The Netherlands
