WORK
The Garden of Energeia
Hikari Osanai(Japan)
Along a wooden path alongside a trickle of spring water in Miyanomori Shizen-en with beautiful sunlight shining through the leaves, this circulating piece of art sits, intertwining the times of plant and bug lives with what we once were, together with a the words of a poet.
“I decided to call the time stored in Miyanomori Shizen-en The Garden of Energeia. When you pass along the wooden path and return to where you were, your body will be filled with energeia.”
