Artist Statement: The title of the idea hopes to explain the concept. It is amazing to me the beauty and awesome nature of the plants on our planet. With climate change and rising waters on my mind, in this design I would like to highlight and perhaps create a moment to think about plants and all they give. The opportunity to see Earth from afar in a virtual reality experience affected me in a way that is hard to explain. In a very touching and profound way, it showed me both the beauty and vulnerability of our planet. It offered a new context, one where I deeply and innately understood and felt the need to take care. In this piano design, highlighting green and plants and images inspired by their makeup and thanking them, I hope viewers may reflect on plants…what they give, how they live, what they do, and reflect also on care for them and our Earth.
