In this installation, symbolic plants are placed in a concrete floor (brutal reality of a concrete foundation) where growth is impossible, highlighting the paradox of hope and unattainable goals for Generation Z. The concrete metaphorically represents the systemic and societal barriers they face, from financial instability to ecological devastation and a competitive job market. The plants, though rooted in symbolic expectation, will never bloom, illustrating the disillusionment between aspiration and reality.
This installation concept uses the symbolism of real plants to mirror broader social themes, making the emotional resonance both accessible and deeply impactful.
