The installative landscape incorporates glass of various origins – new and antique stained glass, found construction glass, graffiti coated glass. Its forms evoke sacred and industrial architecture, ruins, and cemeteries, interweaving architectural and botanical ornamentation. Engraved plants can be seen on the glass, ghost-like, haunting in an environment that has sunk into ruin. These are poisonous species native to Estonia, here depicted as blooming simultaneously and eternally. Alongside glass and metal frameworks, the work contains small, easily overlooked objects – remnants left behind by human presence. Together, these elements coalesce into a fragile, paradisiacal garden, reflecting on transience across different eras, spaces, and scales.

Anna Mari Liivrand is an artist who works with spatial installations, sculpture, stained glass and drawing, often combining vastly different materials and image-making techniques. In the exhibition context, her works usually convey a spatial quality. However, often built around a drawing or another two-dimensional image, it brings her art – somewhat surprisingly – closer to a traditional printmaking. Ornamental patterns with plant motifs and a tension between emptiness and intricacy (seemingly the result of gravity) create a fragile, airy and delicate environment that feels both alluring and piercingly dangerous.
