SILK COCOONS

This installation provides a temporary shelter for humans and plants while mimicking the shape of moth cocoons.  The structure changes as it disintegrates, allowing animals and insects of the park to collect and reuse the silk threads for their own shelters.

This installation and its construction methods are original artistic expressions developed by Lua Rivera as part of the Rivera Rhizomatic Construction Method.

Silk Cocoons, 2019. Cotton rope, wood, grass, and flowers. Guandu Nature Park, Taipei, Taiwan. 18m (L) X 10m (W) X 3m (H).
