Graphic Rewilding's 'Fleeting Opulence' Transforms Brookfield Place with Nature-Inspired Installation
British artist duo Graphic Rewilding has installed 'Fleeting Opulence' at Brookfield Place in New York City, transforming the Winter Garden and surrounding spaces with large-scale floral installations. The immersive work features oversized flowers and cherry blossoms that respond to changing light, creating an evolving environment visible through October 2026. Founded by Catherine Borowski and Lee Baker, Graphic Rewilding received the 2026 Brookfield Place New York Annual Arts Commission for this project. Their mission focuses on bringing nature-inspired art to urban settings. Located at 230 Vesey Street in Lower Manhattan, Brookfield Place offers shopping and dining alongside the exhibition.
