JASON WU RUNWAY – SS 24


For a moment between its former life as bank, and future life as foodcourt, we inhabited this singular space, building a fictional world overtaken by grassland.  Our team feigned a breeze to spread milkweed and goldenrod seed into every crevasse.  The grass emerged from cracked concrete and terrazzo to frame Noguchi’s sunken garden, a reminder of what was before and will be again.
