For project Here and Now, I set up a flower and herb garden.  I wanted that place in front gallery become more attractive, and that everyone can become part of the garden The project was made as public action. The gardening was mention as a multi layered activity’s a creative act of cultivation (gardening as a way to revitalize a derelict site) and as activity that establishes communication with local residents. For this reason I invites area residents to help me plant and develop the garden and solicits their advice, suggestions, and ideas. I strive to bring the public site closer to the people, to make it part of their private environment.
