The Garden of the Last Days is a project that explores the relationship between humanity and nature within the context of climate change and environmental degradation. It originated from the artist’s concern over the future of the planet and the need to raise awareness about the importance of its preservation. Presented as an installation, it reimagines the last day on Earth, where the biosphere still exists in its purest and most sublime form.
Created in collaboration with the design company Noruwei, it comprises textile elements and the screening of a video that combine to create an immersive and emotional experience, enabling visitors to embark on a multi-temporal journey through a majestic and impressive world.
