Flower Atlas Calendar is a large scale public artwork by Miya Ando, commissioned for Brookfield Place in New York City and first exhibited in July 2023. The installation consists of 72 suspended chiffon banners, each representing one of the traditional Japanese kō (候), or micro seasons, from the 72 season lunisolar calendar. Across these banners, Ando maps 365 flowers, one for each day of the year, corresponding to blooms occurring somewhere on Earth, reimagining time through an ecological and phenological lens.
