"Neon Garden" is a 3D computer-generated animation that presents a Japanese garden in which the traditional environmental elements have been replaced with a set of neon signs, which are the Japanese symbols for beauty, justice, knowledge, serenity, love, peace and truth.
These signs make the intentions of the Japanese garden more literal and transparent. The work juxtaposes the contemplative aspects of Eastern philosophy with the contemporary Western interest in ease and convenience.
