本项目为MAAK space事务所在2020年卢瓦尔河畔肖蒙国际花园节中的参展作品，花园节以“回到地球母亲的怀抱”为主题，汇聚了众多具有先锋意识的景观作品，堪称未来花园的试验场与展览馆，为人们提供了全新的欣赏视角与感官体验。本项目从400项提案中脱颖而出，成为最终在花园节中展出的25个作品之一，并荣获了“最受评审团欢迎（Coup de Coeur）”奖。作品的初衷旨在探讨人与地球母亲的关系，倡导人们更多地亲近自然，伴随着“大地母亲的目光”在林中漫步。

MAAK space entered the Chaumont-sur-Loire international garden festival edition 2020 with the theme ‘’Back to Mother Earth’’. The festival is a laboratory and observatory for gardens in the future, inventing new ways to see and experience the garden. Among the 400 proposals received, MAAK space was selected to realize one of the 25 gardens of the festival, and received the ‘‘Coup de Coeur’’ (favourite of the jury) award with a garden designed to question our relationship to Mother Earth welcoming us to an initiatory promenade ‘’in the eyes of mother earth’’.

自然之声

Nature is speaking

面对着无限自然之美，MAAK space事务所力图定义出影响自然与世界的因素。对设计师来说，大地母亲象征着无限的慷慨与不妥协的态度。作为人类，我们必须超脱以自我为中心的观点，摒弃人定胜天的思想，在大自然面前保持一个谦卑的态度并怀有敬畏之心。这样，我们就会意识到，人类与自然并不是两个对立面，而是相互平衡，相互影响的。

Faced with so much beauty, we seek to define the forces responsible for nature and the world. This is where the figure of Mother Earth appears, representing both infinite bounty and intransigence. We must move beyond this egocentric view, where earthworks for or against humanity, and regain our place and humility so we can understand that it is not a case of Mother Earth on one side and humans on the other, but rather of balance, a whole of which we are apart.

The trees

本项目引导人们透过“”自然母亲的眼睛“，以全新的视角去观察与体验世界。人类的生生不息依赖于地球的慷慨馈赠，而这个小花园则揭示出人类与地球的共生关系。茂密无垠的森林，代表着无限生机，同时也是植被最发达、最完整的形式。

This garden offers an opportunity to see through Mother Nature’s eyes and gain a new perspective. It is a long way from the fatalism that sees humanity as dependent on the earth and its generosity but rather reveals their symbiosis. The forest, thick and unlimited, represents lushness, but also the most developed and complete form of vegetation.
