A circular, rhythmic garden inspired by lifecycles and the ever-moving energy within them. Plants at different growth stages represent the fluctuations of human life. The fragility, strength, perfection and imperfection of life are woven into the design, culminating in the Legacy Seat, which captures all of these themes.
As a fundamental element of life, the form and properties of water feature in the design. Ripples and reflection illustrate the message that energy is forever flowing, from past to future.
