This interactive wall hanging with illustrated topiary garden hides secrets waiting to be revealed through a simple cut of its top layer of yarns. The allure of topiary aesthetics mirrors the constant human impulse to mold nature according to our desires—a reflection of our inherent desire to master our imperfections. Yet, beneath the surface of these perfectly shaped bushes lies an alternative narrative.
Much like the Persian garden carpets that depicted the myth of heaven’s delight, this wall hanging tells a story about man's search for perfection and his opposing wild nature.
