“I reflect, therefore I think. I reflect, therefore I project a mirrored image. The same verb, two meanings.”

Reflected is a space enclosed by glossy walls, designed for contemplation on the state of our planet. The mirror, echoing the image of the Cretto, responds to this reflection. The Earth, parched by climate-change-induced drought, hosts small native shrubs in its cracks – vivid and resilient symbols of nature’s strength. At the center stands a large olive tree, a symbol of regeneration, offering shade and hope to visitors.

The kaleidoscopic reflections expand the perception of space, creating a dreamlike environment. Visitors are immersed in the mirrored images of colorful gardens, fostering awareness of global environmental challenges while inspiring the possibility of resilience and renewal. The human task is to find sustainable solutions so that nature can thrive again, reclaiming its role as the heart of our world.
