As time passes, it becomes everyday more evident that humans are losing the connection to the natural environment. Everyone is busy with their everyday life, spending most of their time in buildings, apartments, homes, always surrounded by walls, with a roof on top and pavement under their feet.

This piece came together as a consequence of this condition, by radically living in the complete opposite of this past two months: bringing my room, the furniture that was part of my childhood into the forest I escaped from the walls that had suffocated me and existed for a day without them. Suddenly, the ground under my feet was earth and grass and I had the possibility of reconnecting. But this comes as well with exposure, as indeed our homes are meant to protect us. During this experience I confronted myself with the duality my action implemented.
