Artist Statement

Designed in collaboration with Huntsman Architectural Group, this living wall transforms a narrow urban passage into a sculptural landscape. Visible from within the building yet tucked slightly off the main path, the installation introduces a sense of discovery—drawing visitors toward a lush, unexpected moment in the city. Inspired by mountain topography, the wall rises and falls in peaks and valleys, with faceted geometry that extends beyond a flat plane to create depth and dimension. A predominantly green palette brightens the alleyway, while a black mirrored surface opposite the wall reflects the planting, amplifying the experience and giving the illusion of a doubled landscape.
