The garden
The frame, the most traditional element used to frame a landscape, is transformed into the creative form of a gallery with astonishing characteristics. The rotation of the square, a rigid and two-dimensional element, creates a three-dimensional space with sinuous forms.
The plants, mainly herbaceous, follow the path and also penetrate the frame, reminding the viewer that a landscape is not only what is framed in a picture but what is perceived through movement.
A kind of centrifugal current resonates with the free form of the plants, as the wind stirs the foliage, producing a novel perspective that deceives the eye and highlights the views beyond the gate. Geometry is used as an instrument of perspective to surprise the visitor and give them an unusual experience from the disorientation that beckons them to walk through an unexpected landscape, encouraging them to abandon their usual viewpoints.
