Life Labyrinth by PATTERNITY

Life Labyrinth designed by PATTERNITY was installed on Westminster Cathedral piazza for the London Design Festival between 14th to 22nd September 2019.

The installation is absolutely gorgeous as it features a black and white geometrical design that is patterned all the way through the "labyrinth". This actually gave it more of a serene grace to it as I walked it in making me calm and slowly making my way to the centre (especially as I chose a day when it was drizzling with rain). 

The centre features a surrounding of plants which seeks to plant (excuse the pun) the seed of imagination, mindfulness and positivity. The evocation caused a strong sensation of calmness. It was a reminder of when I went to Regent's Park to see the Frieze sculptures that I explored the park a bit more and found a section where the trees blocked out the city entirely, which gave me the same sensation that the maze gave me. Simple yet a masterpiece!
