Land of welcome or open-air prison? the doubt remains. In this universe enclosed by a high wall, human beings walk peacefully. The title evokes an ideal place but the wall does not reveal exit or entrance and the large courtyard appears empty. It is an Eden in which the included seem to be excluded. Small copper engraved with refined care, with absolute blacks and whites.
