Terrarium Display


 Terrarium Display on the wall at the Warehouse. I had one once, tried to keep an anole in a terrarium, it lived just a few days, the plants soon followed. These obviously are professional and solely botanical. More ecological than hot house flowers, terrariums contain an ecosystem in a bottle, or a jar. Is life light? If yes, then this indeed catches lightening in a bottle. Speed up that film and you’ll see that it’s true. Mason Jars, candy jars, beverage dispensers, recycling household items of a pre-plastic age into self-contained worlds, the past affirmed in the display by the classic, green tinged glass bottles of Coca-Cola. No terrariums in the soda bottles? Those ecosystems exist on the microscopic level.
