My Garden is a personal series I began one year ago with the intention of connecting with both my garden and myself, as an exercise in exploring my immediate surroundings. By setting the boundaries of using only what I find in the garden at that specific time of year, the process becomes unique, shaped by the continuous transformation of the vegetation with the changing seasons and the natural development of the environment.
I really enjoyed starting this project during this time of year. It was early autumn when I began, and the garden was untouched—raw. We hadn't done any work on it yet, but the magnificent, mature trees and bushes were large, wild, and beautiful. Everything was new to me, and I really enjoyed the detailed exploration and mindful attention I had to give to every living element: the colors, the shapes, and the textures.
After Autumn, I had already set a clear direction for the development of the series: a focus on simplicity, playful compositions, and the use of contrasting colors and textures. Most importantly, everything had to be sourced from what was present in my garden at that specific moment in time.
