PATTERNS IN NATURE: THE ART OF HYBYCOZO
Patterns in Nature: The Art of HYBYCOZO
Presented by
April 10–September 26
Coming this spring and summer, Patterns in Nature: The Art of HYBYCOZO explores the wondrous connection between art, science, and nature through 21 intricately designed and interactive installations located throughout the Garden. This mesmerizing display is the first exhibition of its kind in Missouri.
Created by artists Serge Beaulieu and Yelena Filipchuk, HYBYCOZO’s large-scale geometric sculptures reveal the hidden systems that shape the natural world—expressed through light, shadow, and monumental form. As sunlight and illumination filter through intricate designs, shifting patterns bloom across the landscape, inviting you to explore, reflect, and feel a deeper connection to the world around you.
Experience the beauty and mystery of nature's geometry by day, by night, and only at the Missouri Botanical Garden.

HYBYCOZO
Created by artists Serge Beaulieu and Yelena Filipchuk, HYBYCOZO (pronounced hib-e-co-zo) began in 2014, drawing inspiration from the inherent beauty found in mathematics, science and natural phenomena. Over the past decade, HYBYCOZO has been featured in cities across the globe, from Wichita to Dubai, and in venues as diverse as the galleries of the Smithsonian to the deserts of Burning Man.
Patterns of Nature is the first exhibition of HYBYCOZO's work in Missouri.
