“Nature, in the monotony of its eternal growth and decay, is the embodiment of a dark, grandiose secret … born of man’s heart and mind, rising from the yearning for permanence and eternity”.
This exhibition offers different ways of looking at the natural world; of rediscovering what we already have, instead of simply assuming the mutually exclusive character of Western culture and nature.
