Ori Shany - Lost Garden

In our time, the connection to nature is something we must seek out and work for. We live on concrete, surrounded by artificial lighting, distanced from the seasons. Yet, we have an innate attraction to nature, known as biophilia.

Lost Garden is a virtual space that represents the lost nature, and invites users to renew their experience of partnership and appreciation for nature through creation. The game offers an opportunity to sculpt a breathing system composed of soil, water, and plants. This takes place in a process of development, discovery, and progress, alongside disconnection and relaxation.
