Scent from Heaven – A treescape installation in nature

As the immersive world of “Scent from Heaven” in Planten un Blomen came to a close on October 24th, I’m overwhelmed with emotions, recalling the magnificent journey we’ve traversed.

🌟 An Enchanting Canvas: “Scent from Heaven” unfolded as a sensory symphony, a multimedia projection installation that sprawled amidst the natural haven of Planten un Blomen. It was a fragrant tapestry of Agarwood’s stories, gently entwined with the whispers of nature.

🌳 Nature’s Symphony: The fusion of three mesmerizing tree projections, captivating multimedia installations, and the resounding “Song of Entanglement” by the Bunte Luft Trio painted a narrative that took visitors on a sensory voyage into the heart of Agarwood, leaving them both spellbound and enlightened.

🌎 An Ode to Connection: “Scent from Heaven” was a celebration of the harmony between humans and the natural world, emphasizing our interconnectedness with the environment in a delicate dance of art and nature

🙌 Gratitude in Abundance: This multifaceted project was a collaborative effort that wouldn’t have been possible without the visitors who strolled through this fragrant universe, the dedicated team members whose passion brought this vision to life, and the supporters whose belief fueled our flight.

🎨 The Tale Unfolds: As this chapter gracefully concludes, the story of Agarwood’s fragrance and the beauty of nature persists. There are more stories to share, more journeys to embark upon, and more fragrances to explore. Stay tuned for the next chapter in our artistic expedition!
