Nature does not stop in the city. The Hudson River, brushing againstthe concrete and glass of the urban fabric, rises up and down twice aday with the eternal clock of the tides. This tidal activity connectsus to the ocean, to the moon and to a daily schedule that is nature’sown.
Tide Flowers will register the tidal movement with a simple visualpresence of brilliantly-colored flowers blooming at high tide andclosing at low tide. Tide Flowers is made up of thirty-three flowerunits, each with six petals, attached to selected wooden piles on twopiers. Twenty-five flowers will be placed in a field-like formation onselected pilings at the end of one pier
