25 EMMALINE BOWMAN AND LIAM RILEY “Through the Looking Glass” extends an invitation to explore the concealed ecosystems beneath our feet. The intricately woven layers below the surface serve as the life force sustaining flourishing ecosystems. Our objective is to dissolve boundaries through the ‘looking glass windows,’ revealing the pivotal role of living organisms, soil, and water in nurturing microsystems. While most life below remains hidden, we highlight visible activities such as soil-living insects, mycorrhizal networks, and water-purifying bacteria. Our installation, inspired by a rural Australian theme, blurs the line between visible and unseen, emphasizing the importance of subterranean activities for a healthy environment. LEARNMORE The silent choreographer of this masterpiece is the health of the soil and water, showcased in the pond and encouraged by locally sourced materials like boulders, pebbles, logs, and aquatic plants. This design aims to exemplify a minimal impact style space, serving as both an aesthetic attraction and an essential wildlife habitat. “Through the Looking Glass” extends an invitation to explore the concealed ecosystems beneath our feet.
