About this objectThis is a work of visual paradox and contrast. Lush foliage spills across the composition, conveying the garden’s vitality and abundance. At the same time, the enclosing walls and architectural frameworks assert clear boundaries, emphasising the garden’s interiority. This tension between growth and containment presents the garden as both expansive and enclosed, a cultivated space shaped equally by nature and human design.
