This year’s festival, themed “The Garden,” encourages artists to explore and interpret a wide range of topics. While it naturally includes themes of nature, beauty, and environmental conservation, it also delves into deeper concepts such as existence, transformation, growth, loss, discovery, adventure, and love. The versatility of this theme is intended to inspire creativity and foster diverse artistic expressions, reflecting the multifaceted nature of life.
