Warde
An installation of flowers that bloom when pedestrians walk by and close when they leave.
Warde is an installation of larger-than-life flowers that bloom when pedestrians walk by and close when they leave. Positioned in pairs on either end of an open square in the middle of Jerusalem, all four flowers inflate when a tram approaches the nearby station. The project is meant to create a unified and dynamic public space.
