There’s no need to find an ‘Eden’ if you can create one.

 
In hopes of gaining all that nature provides, a series of paintings* will be painted to simulate that of a contained rainforest. Set like a control in an experiment, all dangers that one will expect in the Amazon Rainforest will be eliminated, without the risks of parasites, leeches… Here,  no one will have to risk their lives for an adventure tracking expedition.  

To me, our urban landscape is created for the sake of entertaining our lives, with comfort and easy accessibility, for all to enjoy. This is Eden, isn’t it?
