Visual Descriptions
Inside this standalone room, the brown base of a willow tree sits on the far wall. Audio of nature sounds plays through a set of speakers mounted on either side of the tree. Green and yellow leaves made of ribbon hang from above. There is soft light shining down through the leaves. On the floor below, a velvety green fabric imitates grass.
