Often, you stand in your own way

LUGA 2025 - luxembourg garden exhibition in the city / Gartenbau Leufgen (FHL)

This garden aims to illustrate that there are many paths in life that one can take and countless opportunities to seize. However, we often stand in our own way, letting these chances slip by. With this project, we create a metaphor for exactly this concept. The mirrors are attached to the beams, making a profound truth visible: the greatest obstacle on the road to achieving one’s goals is often oneself.

This construction with a roof in front of the well known Fondation Pescatore is a well hidden aeration from the underground casemate system. Former Berlaimont Reduit and Fort Charles. During the period of cold war this historic underground fortress was - in case of an atomic war - arranged as a a bunker for the Government of Luxembourg. This aeration you see in front integrated in the fence was equipped with a very simple filter system. During my activ time as geologist I had access to those old casemates and discovered an impressive wine collection underneath the Pescatore, an old people‘s home? Or left by General Patton: During the battle of the Bulge, 16th december 1944 until 25th january 1945, the Foundation was used as the main headquarters for American General George S. Patton.

Muschelkalk-Dolomit nahe Trier an der Igeler Verwerfung. Ablagerungszeitraum des Muschelkalks vor etwa 243 bis 235 Millionen Jahre, Trias Mitteleuropa. Damals entstand das Sedimentgestein in einem flachen Meer nach Süden in Verbindung mit dem Urozean Tethys. Später wurde das Gesteinspaket tektonisch herausgehoben und ist heute als markante helle Felsfronten entlang der Mosel zwischen Schengen und Trier sichtbar. Im Weinbau sind Muschelkalkböden, besonders geeignet für Burgunder, Silvaner und Rieslingreben. Die steilen Lagen sind schwierig zu bewirtschaften und terrassenförmig aus Kalkstein-Trockenmauern aufgebaut.

Some more stones from my homeland. In front you see plenty of shells, sediment rock composition.
Minette is a type of mineral deposit, consisting of iron ore of sedimentary origin, found in the south of Luxembourg and in Lorraine. Minette ore was deposited in the Early and Middle Jurassic.The term "Minette" came from French miners. It is a diminutive form of "la mine", and might be translated as "little mine“ because of relatively poor iron content of between 28% and 34%.

Cornwall UK: cornish cliff granite. The intrusion of the granite gave rise to extensive metamorphism and mineralisation and this led to Cornwall being one of the most important mining areas in Europe until the early 20th century.
