Through lighting and dynamic structures, we recall the force and the primary importance of nature. In order to express this force, we have arranged these structures around 3 plane trees.

The idea was not to put the trees in cages, but through the particular positioning of these structures give the impression that the trees break the artificial elements men put in their environment. In other words, the deconstructive ways in which these elements are assembled emphasize the vitality of the trees, as if the force of nature explodes this unity.

A double perception can be noticed of the installation: close by the spectator will perceive a “simple” luminous effect, but from a distance he will observe a dynamic and luminous effect of the structures. The trees put the installation on stage and live together with the other actors of the city.
