The installation takes the form of a greenhouse whose exterior appearance does not match its inner reality. From the outside, one can see bright light and the shadows of plants, but inside there is only a single, mystical flower — a remnant of a technological disaster.
Through greenhouses, humans gain the ability to control natural cycles and weather conditions, forcing plants to grow at any time of year, eliminating weeds and insects.
The garden, as a space where every process of life can be controlled, becomes a zone of human dominance over other living beings — an attempt at total control over the surrounding world.
