The Garden



The interplay of interior and exterior is a critical aspect of Lunuganga; and you will frequently find yourself in the liminal state of being inside and outside at the same time. Objects are placed to carry your eye outside from inside through doorways and windows; they are also placed like sundials through the garden so daily rituals such as meals and evening drinks may be suited to the path of the sun.
