During a stroll through dense and varied vegetation, the visitor becomes aware of their reflection and confronts its gradual distortion. Approaching the wall, they realize it also reflects what lies beyond the boundary, like an invitation to cross over.
By reflecting both sides of the garden in an analogous way, the installation emphasizes that, despite drawn lines and established differences, we share a common humanity and biodiversity. "Beyond the Reflection" is an invitation to contemplation, to curiosity, and to the desire for crossing boundaries. It reminds us that borders are not limits but opportunities for connection and understanding.
Ultimately, it challenges us to reconsider the boundaries we impose, both physical and intangible, and to envision a world where reflection leads to dialogue and unity. By traversing the mirror, we are encouraged to see the other side not as foreign, but as an extension of ourselves.
