Breath of Earth

Contemporary open-air installation, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Title: Breath of Earth Designer: Pascale De Backer Material: fishing strings in different diameters

In the city, we often miss the subtle sounds of nature - the wind moving through the leaves of the trees.

Breath of Earth brings the sound of the wind back into the urban environment. Installed in a narrow street in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, the installation transforms invisible air currents into a delicate soundscape.

As the wind moves through the different strings, it creates changing tones that invite moments of calm and awareness within the rhythm of the city. Passers-by are encouraged to pause, look upward, and reconnect with the presence of nature in the urban landscape.
