About



We transformed the original Rising River VR experience into an accessible, interactive wall installation. This adaptation invites the audience to contribute their greatest strengths and deepest vulnerabilities to the garden via a web application. In response, they witness their unique spiritual flower bloom and hear an echoing question from the garden,  sparking conversations and fostering introspection and connection.

This piece will be exibited in ARTECHOUSE NYC from January 10 to mid April, so we also wrote script to run and restart everything.
