There is a garden beyond gardens, an archetype that lives through the ages of the world and blooms in our unconscious as a Garden of Dreams. It is ‘the place of expectation, magic and joy of life and it needs to be constantly cultivated.
The journey through the ideal gardens of the world opens us to the knowledge of ancient and contrasting symbolisms that flourish in our dreams and tell us about life,death and Rebirth in the primordial secret garden. All this is expressed in the centuries through different forms of organisation and care of the garden, from the small blooming windowsill to the wheat fields. Everything expresses the vision of our inner garden and of our desire for happiness.
“The windowsill. Even there the beautiful blooms, life [blooms]. What I admire is the faith of those seedlings … in spite of everything, the seedlings want to liveand grow. And so here I live in that remnant of garden and I try to believe in life too… even the sill and the backrest are inside our garden of dreams… "
