For the enclosed garden, inspired by a handmade raku bowl and the Japanese tea ceremony, I sought to explore and reflect on the stillness of life. To achieve stillness and truly celebrate life, we must also contemplate something universal to us all: death. The design features two entrances—one symbolising life and the other death. Between these two doors lies a central space representing life as it is individually experienced: alone, yet not lonely. This is a space that can only be entered alone, encouraging quiet reflection and personal connection. At the heart of the design, vibrant flowers grow in multiple colours, yet remain hidden from view until entered. These flowers, blooming only for a limited time each year, symbolise the fleeting nature of life. Their cycles of growth and decay delicately embody the profound interconnectedness of life and death. The circular shape of the space refers to Gaston Bachelard's sentiment that "being is round," a form that fosters a sense of wholeness and introspection.
