Night Bloom is an enclosed, wooden wooden box filled with flowers and sound. Visitors enter a large box structure by ducking under its raised platform and popping up through a hole in the floor of the box. Once inside, visitors are surrounded by live flowers and moss spotlit in warm, humid air. An original sound piece plays from a hidden speaker among the flowers. The interior of the box is painted with high-pigment black paint to create the illusion of dark, open space.
