Cascade Garden

In collaboration with Mark Eckstrand

Cascade Garden is an installation of several glass pieces of different sizes to be used as they are, or in combination with Jellyfish, a series of objects comprising an exhibition Love Letters to My Fellow Human. The glass objects were designed to be used for scientific experiments, initially presented with experiment #1.

Glass objects from the Cascade Garden are made from melted glass, referencing global warming.

Cascade Garden. In this experiment, the Artificial Jellyfish floats within the vessel of the Cascade Garden, capturing images of the underwater environment influenced by plant fertilizers. The setup demonstrates the rapid proliferation of Chlamydomonas when exposed to 10% of the fertilizer dosage recommended in the instructions. This highlights the potential for partial fertilizer runoff into aquatic ecosystems. The concept for the experiment emerged while observing a pond from the slope of a field in Ilm Park, Weimar.
