Birds for ‘The Breathing Space’ garden
My sculpture holds space here – part of a collaboration that explores how art, nature and daily life can settle together. A garden that holds a gentle pulse where sculpted stone meets sunlight, planting and wellness. A terrace sanctuary shaped for quiet moments, with space for stillness, warmth and returning to nature.

How to place a sculpture in the garden
