A privileged space, a place where important mythical narratives gained body and action.

A piece of nature, a corner with signs, metaphors and meanings.
As mythical space it has become singular, differentiated in relation to the surrounding nature.

It is a place, a place, where the sacred reveals itself.

The garden, by itself, is already a work of art. A work too ephemeral, fleeting, because its material bases are based on living elements, such as flowers and plants.

The constant transmutation of the plant in the garden is its sign of harmony. From the ephemerality of this art, from its permanent state of mutation, constant chaos, its harmony and its beauty are born.

The garden is the space of memory and sensitivity. And in this aspect, the garden differs in relation to other spaces, because it is the place of emotion, expansions of affection and sensitivity.

The garden is the place of affection, of the human sense; the place where the flowers have a meaning, where the perfume evokes memories, the place that demands almost daily care and attention.
