The Chiaroscuro Arboretum

I dreamt of a place where architecture forgets its purpose, a silent arboretum caught between dusk and dawn. Great abstract structures, hollowed and lined with reflective orange, pulsed with a dual light—one side bathed in the cool, sterile glow of a distant nebula, the other in the warm, nostalgic yellow of a forgotten sun. These luminous forms held back an encroaching darkness that threatened to consume the white walls of the world. In the foreground, rigid order prevailed; large wooden planter boxes, carved into chevrons and L-shapes, imposed their geometry upon the floor, their green foliage a quiet, living rebellion against the stark perfection. It was a garden of contradictions, a blueprint of a memory, where light wrestled with shadow and nature was contained within the sharpest of lines.
