More than 10.000 laser-cut paper flowers were glued to a group of oak branches without leaves. These branches created a reachable canopy covering a space of 15x10 meters. You entered a huge industrial hall where everything was made from steal and metal. You were surrounded by a functional and repetitive architecture. In the distance of this hall you saw something white, floating. As you moved closer to it you realised that this white cloud consisted of thousands of paper flowers. The sunlight which came into the space gave you the impression that you were walking under a newly grown flower roof.
