Oscura – Anna Binta Diallo

Inspired by lunar phases, eclipses, global myths, and folklore, Anna Binta Diallo’s Oscura reimagines the garden as an ethereal space where we can explore the mysteries of the cosmos and its deep relationship with humanity. 

Oscura features silhouettes of humans, animals, celestial bodies and natural elements that engage in a dialogue with the trees and plants of the park and the skies under which they are gathered.  Relying on the interplay of light and shadow, they capture the metaphorical whispers of the moon as their rich visual narrative invites us to contemplate the secrets of our planet and the timeless dance of celestial bodies.
