Description

Amborella

Sky, field, earth, flower... Paradise lies in the bloom of a flower, the opening of the mind. Descending through a billowing field, one enters the earth and engages a path. A bowl eroded from the ground, the environment is extended as an intimate container for contemplation. Blessed with intention by a diverse community of eiders, the flower grows with purpose and blooms with inspiration. A singular, powerful form, it exists in the space to radiate peace, beauty - an external gesture to evoke an internal paradise. The pure blossom elicits the sublime and offers an innate utopia. This garden is a mirror of an enlightened interior... The idea that paradise is within, it is expansive, it is everywhere if one can awaken to it.
