Chaos is not mere disorder, but a fertile ground from which order takes shape. In fragmented memory, disconnected recollections intertwine in unpredictable ways, revealing deeper meanings.
The arrangement of plants and elements in the Echoes garden creates new relationships and harmonies that emerge from this complexity. Memory appears as an incomplete mosaic – an interweaving of overlapping and faded fragments. In this process, remnants of the past resurface in the present, weaving a narrative that is both intimate and collective. Every element in the garden – a plant, a stone, a path – represents a fragment of memory, suggesting that history is in constant evolution.
Visitors are invited to explore and reconstruct the meaning of the garden through careful reflection. The paths intersect and diverge, creating a space that encourages exploration and evokes a sense of controlled disorientation. The plants reflect the emotions tied to each memory, generating a dynamic interplay of contrasting sensations. The blend of native and exotic flora symbolizes the encounter between different cultures. Plants that bloom at different times evoke the passage of time and the cyclical return of memories. In this garden, order does not simply emerge from chaos, but from the journey through it. The focal point serves as a guide, symbolizing the search for clarity amid turmoil, leading to a deeper understanding of how disparate elements merge into perfect harmony.
