If ever there was a perfect room in which to make a wish, Regine Ramseier’s “Windstille” installation would be it. The artist hung thousands of dandelion’s in their twilight stage and preserved with fixative from the ceiling. The artist explained that her inspiration was a poem by Herman Hesse :

The small white room contains a large window, which locks out the green of the park. The dandelion sky is coming from the door to the window and it seems as if the flowers carried out of the room, the light and the day to meet. But still they hang in the room and are permanent. Captured in my memory. They will not return. But the golden meadows, this I know, the dandelions, they will return next spring.

There’s a bit of encouragement for those welcoming back the blustery days of fall.
