While traveling through Mexico City’s Aeropuerto Internacional Benito Juárez, I spotted (well, it was hard to avoid noticing) these large planters in the shape of oversized flower pots. Roughly five to seven feet tall, they’re scattered throughout Terminal 2. An odd choice of decor even for an airport terminal, I think. This image makes me think of some dystopian, futuristic sci-fi novel in which humans are taken on board the spacecraft of a very large alien species who have heard that houseplants remind humans of home…
That’s just my take on it. But I’m not sure these trees/bushes are all too pleased either!
