The movement of urban gardening is spreading over the industrialized world. As the price of food and energy keeps rising more and more people are relying on old traditions of gardening and foraging – in the modern cities too.
This might be a project only happens in Finland as I picked all these apples by myself for free in espoo and helsinki.
I have never had this feeling that I am so welcomed by the nature and the city.The whole process in the CITY FORAGING for this project like picking apples from the ground,swinging the apple trees and the sound of apples hitting the ground,the sunshine and the lovely rain drops sometimes are such beautiful memory for me which I would like to record and extend it somehow.
I made this cube of apples with colors changing from red to green 3-dimensionally.I want to keep this memory like inside a solid box,and I will take pictures of my work on a daily basis in the next 30 days to record their changes .
I prefer to place my work in some industrial areas like in front of an iron factory in order to make a strong contrast,to remind people the beauty of nature and the esay fun in life which we might have missed very easily.
