This project is an adaptation of our “umbrella Project”. We decided to create a floating garden in vibrant colors using one of the most beloved objects in our artistic installations, the umbrellas. They are a symbol of protection and allow us to spread color and joy while creating protection against the elements, helping to reduce temperatures in the exhibition areas.
We used translucent materials to create a stained glass effect and paint the floor and walls without using paint, only with the reflections caused by the incidence of light. The sky of umbrellas that seem to float in the air transports us into a fantasy world!
An open-air museum that produces beautiful and viral images, attracting the attention of bloggers, photographers, and the press. Contributing to the increase of tourism and consequently the increase of local economy. This Project is culturally inclusive, and inspires human connection through the universal power of color!
