artificial: made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally, especially as a copy of something natural.

Two nude women with closed eyes, one resting her head on the other's shoulder, in front of a cityscape at night with a full moon, in a living room with a plant and landscape painting.

everything we are surrounded by is artificial. environments. relationships. energy. emotions.

we want to believe we lead a life more connected to the world more than ever while we’ve never been further from it.

Painting of various green houseplants, including a cactus with multiple pads and spines, and a plant with drooping fronds, in pots on a table against a cream wall with framed artwork.

plants in a controlled environment, allowing these different species to coexist, even though they would have to be in different parts of the world in order to survive naturally.

we capture images of nature, harvest elements to print them. we then display them as an ideal view of the world, while we live in modern skyscrapers composed of elements found in nature.
