The work comes from the Terrarium series. What is a terrarium? It would seem that it is a wild and natural space, but in fact, it is enclosed, limited and artificial. The photographs were made in a Mediterranean hotel, a place overrun by plants. While there, the author felt he was someplace semi-invented and semi-wild. He photographed the spots he often went to during the two-week stay, those which gave him a feeling of safety and comfort. What struck him later on, as he distanced himself from the photographs, was their illusoriness.
