Formal Analysis :
Fukui’s art is more about the message inside her project than the image of her art brought out. For this project, she utilized the power of nature to present her art, basicallyu saying her “formal” art is letting her plants to create image. The size of this art is relatively big withn various sizes of plants.
Content Analysis:
Her art started with an envelope that has a letter which has ” I am sorry” written on it. then the envelope is planted under the plants. This art is trying to strees the idea that this garden is people to apologize. It creates a mood of guitness.
Personal Experience:
I personally very like this art. This art provides a place where people can stress their guiltness out instead of keeping them inside their mind. If I could visit this garden, I definitely would feel relaxed after been there. Besides, this art can also sends out a message of all of us should say a sorry to the environment due to the population we created this far.
