WHAT THE NIGHT FORGOT is an installation that reflects on ecological imbalance, obsolescence and memory through a delicate staging of dried flowers.
It is inspired by the silent disappearance of fireflies - those small glowing insects that many of us remember from our childhood, but which are rarely seen today.
Their disappearance raises an unsettling question: What if we are the last generation to live to see them? This thought led to a work that invites contemplation and mindfulness.
Dried wildflowers hang upside down from the ceiling and form an "inverted meadow". During the day, it looks like a gentle, faded memory of nature - beautiful, but detached. The flowers no longer grow upwards, but fall downwards, symbolizing a world out of balance.
At night, the installation begins to glow softly. Some petals and stems, treated with luminous pigments, flicker softly in the darkness and evoke the fading glow of the fireflies. This silent shimmer represents the fading of those creatures whose decline is closely linked to pollution, habitat loss and human influence.
The change from day to night is more than a play of light - it reflects a deeper shift. The echo of what once was. The glow remains, but the life behind it has disappeared.
The shop window exhibition is illuminated daily from 8 am to 10 pm.
