The Green People

 


When I was exploring Canary Wharf in London, I encountered these very green people living in the various gardens between all those tall buildings.

The two above were the first two I spotted, then I started seeing them in other locations.













They were very quiet people so I let them go about their "growing" business.  I learned they are part of a living art installation called Nature Rising.  There are 21 humanoid figures but I only saw a few. They are made of moss and dried flowers.  It's an interesting art project.  I wonder how they will fare in winter.

When I looked at the sculptures in the photos at first I thought what awful looking sculptures but on reading further I feel they did well considering what they used.

They look like they might be a bit drier than was intended!
