Summary/Abstract: The cycle of photographs presents a vision of the Garden of Eden abandoned by God and man.The paradise after the expulsion. Dead, fossilized land, closed to people forever. The un-like paradiseknown for its descriptions of the Bible. Photographs show the emaciated, dead, arid landscapes, alongwith biblical Trees of Life and The Tree of Knowledge. The skeletons of trees are made of speciallycrafted bones that are to symbolize, on the one hand, the brevity of the material world, and, on theother, ethical relativim of man.
