Singer Will Young Debuts Shadow Self Garden
28 Aug
Summary
- Will Young debuts garden design at RHS Wisley Flower Show.
- The garden interprets Carl Jung's 'shadow self' concept.
- It explores the journey from isolation to embracing possibility.
Singer Will Young is launching his garden design career at the RHS Wisley Flower Show. He has partnered with designer Jamie Butterworth to create an installation named 'Out of the Shadows'.
This garden aims to interpret psychologist Carl Jung's concept of the 'shadow self', representing hidden parts of our personality. Through its design and planting, the garden visually narrates a journey from introspection and isolation towards openness and the embrace of new possibilities.
Will Young expressed his delight in bringing his research on Jungian shadow work to life. He shared his hope that the garden's exploration of density and shade as beauty will metaphorically encourage visitors to look within their own psyches, finding beauty in unexpected places.
The RHS Wisley Flower Show itself will feature various late summer displays, specialist nurseries, shopping, and expert talks. Attendees can also anticipate a vibrant display of thousands of dahlias in diverse shapes and sizes.
