Biophilia adds the perfect finishing touch to the revitalization of a former department store space in the Tysons Galleria in the DC area. The boutique retail venue aims to upend the traditional mall format – and that’s where GOTW’s installation plays a part, both figuratively and literally. Suspended from the ceiling and hanging above a lounge area in the shopping space, GOTW’s captivating masterpiece is a hanging garden emanating from a large backlit ceiling element. Comprised of 120 gardens with moss combinations on tiered boxes, the ceiling garden is a sight to behold for shoppers, and a micro-mossed masterwork of biophilic artistry, detailed fabrication, and painstaking (inverted) installation.
