Commissioned by the European Youth Orchestra Academy within the framework of the German National Garden Show BUGA 2023 in Mannheim. 

Gaia (Greek: Γαῖα; Roman: Terra or Tellus) is the personification of the Earth in Greek mythology, the primordial mother of all life (Mother Earth; Terra Mater), and the first Titanide to emerge from chaos. Gaia symbolizes femininity and feminine power, fertility, motherhood, renewal, rebirth, environmental consciousness, and ecology as a living organism.
