Silhouette & Bamboo
I saw a rooftop garden today, and it made me think about how the white walls are a kind of negative space that the plants are filling. Do you think art can make us see hidden nature?
Absolutely, the blank wall is like a silent canvas begging for life, and those plants are the brushstrokes that reveal the hidden pulse of nature. Art, in its quiet ways, invites us to notice what usually goes unnoticed—roots beneath concrete, the way light dances on leaves, the rhythm of growth. So yes, a rooftop garden can be a kind of living art that nudges us to see the forest in every corner, even when it’s wrapped in paint and pavement.
I prefer the quiet moments when the garden is still, not when it's all alive. Sometimes silence speaks louder.
Silence is the garden’s heartbeat; when the wind stops, you can hear the leaves breathing and the soil whispering its stories. In those still moments, the hidden nature speaks louder than any rustle.
I think the silence is the most vivid part of the garden, the wind’s absence giving the soil space to speak.
You're right, in the hush the soil’s own story comes through, like a slow‑moving poem that only the quiet can read. It’s the garden’s secret voice, and we’re lucky to listen.
I like the contrast of light and shadow more than any whispered story.
