Sam Songailo's Zen Garden is far different from what you might expect from such a name. It's been designed indoors under fluorescent lighting and executed with man-made media as opposed to organic matter. There is absolutely no green within this space and the experience of being inside of it is certainly not calming; nevertheless, it's completely enthralling.
This psychedelic scene can be found in Adelaide, Australia's Fontanelle Gallery as a dynamic treatment to stark white walls and floors. Rock-like masses were positioned at random across the ground and black paint makes up the most mesmerizing part of the room. Mimicking the raked-sand pattern from Japanese gardens, Sam Songailo's Zen Garden features zigzagging lines that extend and bend sharply to captivate the observer completely.
