If nature is complex, extraordinarily beautiful and a source of life, then paradise is simply a representation of it. Raised to a state of higher consciousness, this sensory experience illustrates the dialectic between the human and the wild.
This garden invites us to restore our relationship with beauty and nature. What could be more wonderful to achieve this than a cloud of feathers above our heads? Feathers are thermal insulators, filter UV rays, are watertight and enable flight, among other things.
They have even revealed climate change through the carbon in their structure. Beneath this white canopy, a circular pond accommodates two black swans. The garden is overrun with plants, blueberries, viburnums and artichokes which provide food for the birds, these ancestors of the gardens of paradise.
“All the beauty is in the feathers.
I almost think a feather is the masterpiece of nature.”
ALFRED RUSSELL WALLACE
Among the various species of birches, ferns and grasses which abound, an olive harvest net, worn out scaffolding and pieces of asphalt have been recycled so that life and beauty are endlessly reborn.
