Two but Not Two Maia Sautelet RHS Hampton Court 2012

Maia's garden takes shape

28/6/12
This garden illustrates the Buddhist concept of oneness of life and its environment. Although these two concepts are depicted as two distinct phenomena, they are essentially non-dual and are in fact two integral phases of a single reality and have been depicted in this garden where the boundaries between inside and outside have become blurred.
The theatrical design has been inspired by the aesthetics of Japan and features kokedama, plants that seem to be suspended within the garden.
