The immersive installation, which was slated to open in June last year but was postponed until this month due to the pandemic, visualises the bleak effects of climate change. The US artist and environmental activist Maya Lin has created a “forest” of around 50 towering desiccated white-cedar trees that are planted in the oval lawn of the park to create an ominous micro-landscape that references the impact of climate change on the environment.
