Liane

In a quiet residential stretch of Rotterdam, where brick and pavement tend to repeat themselves, an electrical cabinet is gently overtaken by green. Lianes climb across the metal surface like a borrowed jungle — layered greens, soft pinks, pale blossom whites unfolding with an unforced generosity. This is not strangling growth, but an invitation: colour stepping forward, leaves opening space, tiny beetles appearing as small signatures of attention, each with a name. Utility becomes habitat. Infrastructure turns ornamental without irony. A grey corner learns how to breathe, and the everyday picks up a pulse of green it didn’t know it was missing.
