Cape Town Flower Show 2005 - From Sky To Africa

This garden is an enclosed space; a sensory experience which changes with time and the viewer to reflect the story and drama of their life.

In a symbolic sense, the use of water and stones; the essence of the African Drama, express the need for adaptability in the face of constant change.

Water is itself without form; unconditionally embracing and adapting to any form it encounters.

It is my intention that people visiting this garden will deepen their understanding of their culture; time and value.

After having crossed a pathway of giant granite blocks over a watercourse;

standing or sitting quietly in the pavilion viewing the landscape;

seeing these stone and granite forms, with old succulent plants and soft grasses moving in the breeze;

looking up - see the sky and awesome enclosing mountains;

being entranced with the light reflected from sculptures of human forms within the landscape;

reminiscing on their existence and learning about how they will live in the future.
