O*GE's solar-powered Night Garden was an enchanting feature of the "Light in Jerusalem Festival" this June.
Created by Gaston Zahr & Merav Eitan, giant (4 ft) lotus blossoms recharge by the sun during the day, then glow with eco-friendly LEDS by night, changing from shades of cobalt blue to lime green to sunny yellow and rich coral. In addition to their therapeutic color changes, the giant glowing lotus blossoms would open and close, pulsating with the light and music by Hang.
