The Art Garden on the Theme of Nature and Human Activities
This garden "The Breath of the Earth" is a joint exhibition garden by ordinance-designated cities at EXPO'90. We caught the nature of evolving cities as organisms that have been alive since ancient times, and shaped their powerful, energetic, and beautiful lives with high artistry. On the foundation of huge stones that represents the earth, we combined water and greenery that represent the cycle of reincarnations, installed organic artworks, performed flower shows, and expressed lively cities full of flowers.
