“And the city shall be built upon her own mound” - The Tekuma Gardens

Light constructions placed in the gardens seem to sprout from the ancient ruins found there. The buildings stand naked and half transparent, thus creating doubt whether they exist or not. Rising from the depths of the ruins and ancient walls, the buildings expose a huge gap of space and thought. For a moment, the illuminated garden and the monumental light constructions embody the vision of the “new city” while still remaining connected to old experiences and history. A city of past, present and future.
