It offers an absolutely breathtaking perspective of trees, one which very few have had the pleasure or the time to enjoy. Essentially, the Secret Gardens exhibit is made up of uprooted trees that have been suspended from the ceiling. More often than not, people look up to enjoy the sun streaming through green leaves and smooth branches. The Secret Gardens exhibit gives guests an opportunity to do the opposite. Created by artist Giuseppe Licari, people are encouraged to [sit beneath each tree root](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tenir-bench) to take them in as though they were guessing the form of clouds in a blue sky. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Interactive Art Installations:** Opportunity to create immersive experiences that engage and inspire viewers. - **Nature-inspired Exhibits:** Exploration of unconventional ways to appreciate and interact with the natural world. - **Indoor Green Spaces:** Designing interior spaces to incorporate elements of nature and greenery. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Entertainment:** Art galleries and museums can incorporate interactive and immersive installations to attract and engage visitors. - **Tourism and Hospitality:** Hotels and resorts can create unique nature-inspired experiences to attract guests seeking innovative and memorable stays. - **Interior Design and Architecture:** Designers and architects can incorporate indoor green spaces as a way to bring nature into the built environment and enhance well-being. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nature-Inspired Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humannature-1.md) - [Lightning-Inspired Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-light-shining.md) - [Outdoor Floral Sculpture Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptures-at-kew-gardens.md) - [Blooming Clustered Art Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/structural-botany.md) - [Artful Elevated Timber Treehouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/secret-camp.md) - [Tree Branch-Formed Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celestial-attraction.md) - [Reflective Indoor Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-caviar.md) - [Monumental Air Installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iwagumi-air-scape.md) - [Transparent Teardrop-Shaped Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yuko-nagayama-associates.md)
