Looking for ideas on how to spend your rainy Saturday in NYC? Why not pay us a visit and immerse yourself in a forest atmosphere while learning more and engaging in conversation about the mesmerizing world of Night Trees with our curators.

I can understand your curiosity about the inspiration behind Megumi’s painting of Swamp. She finds solace in her favorite bench at the Ramble in Central Park, which offers a view of a serene lake teeming with various birds, plants, and hidden creatures among the lush vegetation.

This is the spot she can often be seen meditating, daydreaming, and losing herself in the moment.
