Lightscape - Wish Tree

Wish Tree

Created by Pitaya
Entrance to Magnolia Plaza

Wish Tree is a participatory installation where people can use light from a mobile phone to “write” their wishes for mankind on luminescent cards hanging from a sculptural tree. The wish will eventually vanish, but the experience of sharing it will remain in each of the visitors. Wish Tree is a creation of Pitaya, a French creative studio that explores light and its interplay with sculptural objects.
