Copyright The Artist
The project was born from a reflection on what humanity represents in relation to the environment in which it lives. Nature is in continuous and perpetual modification and replicates itself through errors, trying to improve itself, adapting to ever-changing situations. The world and nature around us are completely indifferent to us and could survive even after our passing. The garden is imperfect, and we, like everything around us, are the result of continuous adaptations to evolutionary errors. The artist believes that one of man's greatest defects is that of considering himself the arbiter of the world's destiny when ultimately he is only the arbiter of his own, hence the human fragment as a fragment of a lost civilization.
