“Petals of Future Memories” is an installation that invites the local community to actively participate in the festival. The project, understandable to everyone from three-year-old children to seniors, celebrates inclusivity and creativity across generations.

Participants paint flowers, each of which is attached to an illuminated pole. Every flower is unique, reflecting personal choices of colour and style, yet together they form a radiant collaborative artwork. The flowers symbolize freedom, as each person decides how to express themselves, while the entire installation represents a shared purpose and co-creation.

After the festival, the flowers are preserved as lasting keepsakes — reminders of a collective experience transformed into a glowing garden of community spirit and future memories.
