In this design I wanted to depict the garden as an ecosystem experience in which the human gaze is equated with that of other beings who inhabit it and perceive it in different ways. Bees and other insects, for example, do not see the colour red, but in turn they do see all the colours of the ultraviolet spectrum, which is invisible to us. So in my imagination, the natural view is almost transformed into a psychedelic vision, the colours light up with saturated dominants, echoing Andy Warol's hibiscus. Like a Persian miniature, the garden is composed of individual elements, in this case plants picked one by one and then dried. This natural archive was then used to make cyanographic prints of each essence that populates the finished composition.
