Listen closely. Do you hear the music coming from the western end of the Art Garden? As you walk closer, you’ll discover a grove of five tree-like sculptures, creating a unique forest environment. This installation, crafted by the Hong Kong creative team STICKYLINE x Leanna Lee, focuses on the simple yet powerful branch, symbolising growth and connection.

The sculptures are designed using the principles of fractal geometry and the golden ratio, which help to enlarge the branch in a way that echoes natural patterns. These mathematical ideas aren’t just theoretical – they are found throughout nature and are often used to create beautiful, balanced designs that reflect ecological systems.

As you explore the grove, you'll notice that the tallest of these five sculptures reaches an impressive height of around 6 meters.

By using the sustainable materials like wood and stainless steel, this artwork highlights the relationship between the natural world and human-made structures. To enhance our connection with nature even further, the artists have teamed up with local ecologists to include nectar plants in the area, with the aim of attracting more butterfly species. Butterflies play a crucial role as pollinators, and their presence is a sign of a healthy ecosystem, enriching the biodiversity of this urban garden.
