THE INFINITE GREEN

“THE INFINITE GREEN” is an example of a „green sculpture” which is a combination of steel and wood construction, soil and vegetating plants. Sculpture may remind graphic symbol of infinity especially observed from point of view of a bird perspective. Viewer has an access into interior of the structure. Additional aspect of the sculpture may be a color of plants: many shades of green color appear while different species are planted on 7 shelves-levels of a sculpture. They also blossom in a different time of a year. Also they are implemented according to the overall color of the plant so from the top layer we have yellowish then comes reddish, pinky, violet, blue and different shades of green color appear along to the bottom layer. Only perennials in quantity of 100 species (around 3000 plants altogether) have been applied here.  Project is a part of a visual art program of EUROPEAN CAPITAL OF CULTURE WROCLAW 2016 and is still continued.

Infinity (symbol: ∞) is an abstract concept describing something without any limit… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinity and in this case symbolizes eternality and importance of living nature for human beings as a necessary factor for survival of human race. The form incorporates symbol of infinity into sculptural structure.
I believe the idea that architectural structure may come together with vegetating plants which carry some ecosystem ( artificially created but structurally coherent) to change notion of habitation within earth environment which obviously is a dynamic live system where plants existing in possibly polymorphic way are the key to nearly everything concerning human survival.
There is important linkage between issues like: MAN-plants-building structure-URBAN SPACE-CLIMATE while we are aware these days that our cities cannot expand anymore according to old mode of reproducing the manner of growth of a city which was produced around 100 hundred years ago.
