In the spring of 2011 Anouk Vogel was invited to make a garden for the Gardening World Cup held in Nagasaki, Japan. The brief was to make a garden of 24 sq m for the duration of one month in the autumn of the same year.
For this event Vogel choose to make a design entirely folded out of white paper. The idea is based on an old Japanese legend that grants a wish, such as a long life or recovery from illness or injury, to anyone folding a thousand origami cranes. Inspired by this tradition Anouk Vogel folded a thousand paper flowers with a team of 15 local people to express a wish for world peace and tolerance. The team needed two weeks to fold all the parts composing the garden. The plants are made with special paper that can absorb water without being destroyed. The flowers open when moist and fold back in shape when drying.
