Where all begin

The concept came around during the introduction of the Flaneur approach of our partnership. Since the concept of Flaneur essentially is about wandering we focussed on the wandering of Nature as a force rather than The Human aspect. After much debating we came around to the idea of Nature wandering, constantly evolving and changing regardless of the amount of barriers and boundaries us as human beings implement. After further brainstorming and observing a certain Art installation in a public park we enhanced upon our previous Idea by comparing natural jungles and urban jungles, thus a difference between concrete and nature, specifically how nature still manages to reclaim and wander beyond concrete boundaries set up by us. Eventually this started to coincide with the Nordic Ideal of Yggdrasil, or more commonly known as the tree of life that is both a major part in Norse cosmology as well as holding the twelve different planes of existence from roots that dug deep to branches that served purpose. Our projects relevance focuses on the concept of wandering and observing done by nature instead of Man. It would more or less in a way, do its part to showcase the struggle of nature because of man’s over-expansion. To go so far as to show the negative effects of nature’s wrath so to speak, if suppressed by continuous human expansion.
