Otherworld invites you to see gardens not just as spaces we tend, but as places where the inner life and the outer world unexpectedly meet. Inspired by Carl Jung’s idea of synchronicity, the project treats gardens as thresholds….places where personal experience and universal patterns brush against each other, where the ordinary can suddenly feel strange, meaningful, or magical.

Drawing on folklore, myth and the rhythms of growth and decay, these gardens show the wild and the tended coexisting in quiet tension. A shaft of sunlight or a drifting mist, can feel like a small coincidence that carries weight, echoing patterns that are as much inside us as in the world around us.

The work asks you to wander slowly, to notice the small, uncanny details and to sense the hidden connections that might otherwise go unseen. Otherworld is a meditation on subtle alignment and the quiet wonder of finding something both familiar and mysterious just beyond the hedgerow.
