Concrete Garden
a_l1_concrete_garden
Vines, moss, ferns, and shrubs grow through concrete without soil or daylight, gradually concealing the skeleton of the artificial structure.
Life Where Life Should Not Grow
Vines hang from cracks, moss covers columns, and dense undergrowth fills corridors under artificial light. There is no wind, weather, or visible soil, yet the growth continues and slowly erases doors, signs, and traces of earlier passage.
The Garden Grows Through People
The greenery is not evidence of safety. Prolonged exposure first produces vein-like patterns beneath the skin, followed by stiffness and falling body temperature. The final stage removes the human outline entirely and adds it to the garden.
Botanical Assessment
The vegetation does not depend on normal soil, daylight, or season. Unusual fungi cluster where standing water meets broken concrete; bright colour and intact structure prove neither edibility nor freedom from infection.
