acrylic, hardware, plants and mosses selected specially for the location, soil, organic matter, water, and water sprayers

Viewers experience the landscape at eye-level by placing their heads within the terrarium-like structures.  The experience is multi-sensory and immersive, with muffled sounds and smells of earth and moss. Viewers find themselves in intimate proximity to soil, plants, and each other, sharing the same air.
