At the Ada Vapuru Contemporary Art event, all the messages that were removed one by one from the hundreds of bottles collected in the “Island of Expectations” interactive installation were stored for use in another work. The artists and designers invited to the open-air exhibition as part of a New Year Festival were asked to create their own trees. For this reason, the messages obtained from the “Island of Expectations” work were transferred on the geometric white pine tree as handwriting. Thus, messages from the bottles and voicing the expectations of the writer were enabled to interact with the viewer on the street in a different public space.
