这个短暂的装置是一个1000平方英尺的微型雕塑森林，由1200多棵林业苗木kokedamas组成，嵌在一个由脆弱而复杂的金属网络雕刻出来的倒置穹顶中，得到了观众和组织的特别认可。
The ephemeral installation, a 1,000 SQF miniature sculptural forest consisting of more than 1,200 forestry seedling kokedamas nested within an inverted dome carved out from a fragile and intricate metal network, has received exceptional recognition from both the audience and the organization.
一个具有第二次生命的可持续装置。作为项目理念的一部分，在6月13日结束的费城花展上展出后，Kokedama森林将有第二次生命，成为德克萨斯州达拉斯NorthPark中心收藏品的一部分。
A sustainable installation with a second life. As part of the project philosophy, after its run in the Philadelphia Flower Show, ending on June 13, Kokedama Forest will have a second life becoming a part of the collection at NorthPark Center in Dallas, Texas.
关于目前展出的数百棵本土树苗，它们将被位于特拉华县中心的泰勒植物园所采用，该历史组织的使命是保护、加强和分享他们的遗产、藏品和景观，以创造和激励自然世界的管理者。
In regards to the hundreds of native seedlings currently on display, they will be adopted by Tyler Arboretum, located in the heart of Delaware County, a historical organization whose mission is to preserve, enhance, and share their heritage, collections, and landscapes, to create and inspire stewards of the natural world.
关于土壤居住者的重要思考。Kokedama森林的第二次行动与它在费城花展上的首次安装一样重要，因为它完成了雕塑性微型林地的生命周期。通过Kokedama森林，Nomad Studio的创始合伙人William E. Roberts和Laura Santín对土壤居民隐藏的重要性以及他们与植物不可分割的伙伴关系如何为我们所有人创造合适的栖息地进行了视觉思考。”NorthPark中心、泰勒植物园和其他将主办Kokedama森林的合作者的慷慨，保证了项目的叙述继续激励人们反思其信息。”
An important reflection about soil dwellers. This second act of Kokedama Forest is just as important as its initial installation at the Philadelphia Flower Show since it completes the life cycle of the sculptural micro-woodland. With Kokedama Forest, William E. Roberts and Laura Santín, founding partners of Nomad Studio, make a visual reflection upon the hidden importance of soil dwellers and how their indissoluble partnership with plants creates a suitable habitat for all of us. “The generosity of NorthPark Center, Tyler Arboretum, and the rest of the collaborators that will host Kokedama Forest assure that the narrative of the project continues to inspire people to reflect upon its message.”
在参观过程中，客人们被欢迎进入微型林地，并被悬浮的Kokedamas所包围：数以百计的树苗自豪地展示着它们与土壤的亲密关系，并由一个7.5英尺高的三维金属结构支撑。这个集合体是用钢铁编织的，邀请所有生命网络中隐含的力量和精致的矛盾融合。
During their visit, guests have been welcomed to enter the micro-woodland and be surrounded by the levitating kokedamas: hundreds of seedlings proudly displaying their intimate relationship with soil supported by a 7.5 feet high three-dimensional metal structure. This assemblage has been woven with steel inviting the contradictory blend of strength and delicacy that is implicit in all living networks.
通过这个刺激性的雕塑微型森林，Nomad关注到土壤是地球上的关键栖息地之一，尽管它是不可或缺的，但往往被低估了。
With this stimulating sculptural micro-forest, Nomad focuses on the fact that soil is one of the key habitats of the planet which too often is undervalued despite being indispensable.
Kokedamas是植物和土壤之间关系的象征。Kokedamas(*)是土壤和植物之间亲密关系的诗意物化，是自然和艺术的激励性融合。
Kokedamas as a symbol of the relationship between plants and soil. Kokedamas(*) are a poetic materialization of the intimate relationship between soil and plants, an inspiring blend of nature and art.
Nomad在Kazumi Garden找到了一个处于美国Kokedamas艺术前沿的家族企业，它是手工制作1200个Kokedamas的完美盟友，这些Kokedamas是这个短暂装置的一部分。用Nomad的话说，”Kazumi的尊重和手艺，以及他们对美的承诺，在他们的日常工作和装置中都有所体现，使Kazumi的家庭成为Kokedama森林不可缺少的一部分，没有它就不可能实现”。
同样，Nomad指望Timber Forge Woodworks，这个定制设计和工艺制造车间负责金属结构的制造。”我们总是希望我们的作品感觉到它有一个故事要讲，而Kokedama森林是一个令人难以置信的方式来传达尊重我们周围的世界以及我们下面的世界的重要性，”Timber Forge联合创始人Louie Andracchio说。”Nomad团队将自然雕塑与人造结构融合在一起的沉浸式体验的愿景，使你真正感受到人、植物和我们共同拥有的地球需要彼此才能茁壮成长。”
Nomad has found in Kazumi Garden, a family business that is at the forefront of the art of kokedamas in the United States, the perfect ally to handcraft the 1,200 kokedamas that are part of the ephemeral installation. “Kazumi’s respect and craftsmanship, as well as their commitment with beauty, demonstrated both in their daily work and with the installation, make Kazumi’s family an indispensable part of Kokedama Forest without which it would not be possible”, in the words of Nomad.
Similarly, Nomad counted on Timber Forge Woodworks, the custom design and craft fabrication workshop responsible for the fabrication of the metal structure. “We always want our work to feel like it has a story to tell, and Kokedama Forest is an incredibly compelling way to communicate the importance of respecting the world around us, as well as underneath of us,” said Timber Forge co-founder Louie Andracchio. “The Nomad team’s vision for melding natural sculptures with man-made structures in an immersive experience makes you truly feel that people, plants, and the earth we all share, need each other to thrive.”
最后，Nomad与Pinelands Nursery合作，Pinelands Nursery是重新造林的本地植物专家，他们提供了自生林的苗木。
Finally, Nomad has collaborated with Pinelands Nursery, specialist in native plants for reforestation, which have supplied the autochthonous forestry seedlings.
