THE LAST GARDEN - 2026
Lumino-kinetic sculpture

The Last Garden is an apocalyptic yet utopian vision of a world in which nature and the technological civilization created by humanity have become fatally intertwined. At the core of the work lies an ancient grapevine and its roots: once living, now preserving only the memory of life. Its organic body is surrounded by dark, rock-like cast-metal structures, suggesting a new, artificial geology growing over nature.
The contrast between wood and metal embodies the tension between the living and the lifeless, between organic growth and human intervention. The lenses integrated into the composition evoke the gaze of science and observation, while the glass sphere at its centre — a fragile image of the Earth — becomes a reminder of the vulnerability of the world itself. In darkness, the solar-powered lights begin to glow, creating a profound paradox: technological light, generated from the energy of nature, illuminates the remnants of a world in decline. The light thus becomes both a trace of human civilization and a possibility of hope. The biblical dimension of the work evokes the Garden of Eden and the Tree of Life, as well as the vision of a new heaven and a new Earth in the Book of Revelation.
The Last Garden does not offer a final answer. Instead, it leaves the viewer with a question: Can humanity preserve the world it has become capable of transforming?
