Afterlife Garden
During a thorough research of our client's life, we found out that Sivko had a massive influence on its master's work. This is clearly visible mostly in Plečnik's interventions in Paradise garden on Prague Castle. With the knowledge of architect's obsession with Egyptian aesthetics, suddenly we are able to see the monumental netherworld that is built in those gardens. We took the challenge to uncover the symbolism behind all these stone artifacts and join them into an afterlife narrative. In the end, we made the decision to try to complete the master's work by adding an underworld portal from Sivko's tomb.
