Recycled logs mark the transition between the natural yin area - characterised by tall, flowing evergreen grasses - and the more controlled yang area, with vibrant with blue and purple flowering plants. Native wildflowers sown at the edges hint at an undefined space awaiting the future. The design is a response to gardening for the future in a changing climate and gently blurs the boundaries between cultivated spaces and wild nature, inviting reflection on the Taoist theme of how human order and natural spontaneity coexist and interchange. Seasonal shifts further underscore the ever-changing interplay of yin and yang: the yang energy of summer softens into yin hues in winter, while the steady yin transforms with bursts of yang vibrancy as the seasons change.
