    (PROJECT SUMMARY)

    On a 23rd floor penthouse, a hidden little forest is growing on shallow soil. The humans sleeps, surrounded by this forest. Or maybe it will be nicer to sleep in the forest, watching the night sky. They awake from the sound of morning birds or an insect crawling around. At midday, a carpenter bee and butterfly finds themselves on this high floor collecting nectar. Why did it fly so high? Why is there a grasshopper here too? A human visits and observed it doesn’t fell like the 23rd floor.
