Zurich Plant Installation

Walking through Zurich airport, I happened upon this fascinating
display of airport decor...




If you look upwards, the plant extends through several floors above.
What's so quintessentially Swiss about it, though, is that someone
thought to tailor a habitat specifically for a plant- this in a passageway
of the airport. Almost random, but definitely serendipitous, and the
construction of the container substantiates that feeling: it seems
just right, both for the plant and for viewing purposes.



Even the label is artful. Plant life taking the place of art!



There is a man who comes with his nice rolling thing and
clears away the leaves that have been shed by the plant.
Maybe this even happens several times a day.

Everything in Switzerland is so kempt!
