An Illusory Garden

All art, religion is only natural appendages.
                                                                        ——Aristotle
This project creates an illusory garden that exists only in the fantasy world, where, I hope, man and nature live in harmony and grow together as a whole. Plants are part of the human body, and the human body is also a container to provide nutrients for plants. So I made different organs of the human body with super light clay, including eyes, nose, hands, feet, head, etc., and then I put these motifs together with natural plants.
The clock made up of the moon, sun and stars makes the little garden look more like a complete world. This idea is influenced by The Persistence of Memory painted by Dali, in which various twisted hands showing different moments represent distorted time, which can be understood as either static or eternal. In the dimension of time, each creature plays a different role. But even humans, who have evolved to the top of the food chain, cannot live independently of nature. However, in the illusory garden, the limitations of the time dimension have disappeared, and man can live in harmony with nature and maintain an everlasting balance.
Many impossible phenomena are presented in this garden. Like the flowing smoke, the prominent green and the gray background that brings the sense of tranquility and eternity, all these effects I added to the photo are to show that this is an unreal world combining flow and stillness.
