One idea often comes to mind: that of the garden as a living, changing, imperfect space. Landscape architect Gilles Clément talks about the ‘garden in motion,’ a way of understanding nature not as a fixed setting, but as an open process, where the gardener does not impose, but listens, observes, and collaborates with what grows spontaneously.
This perspective transforms. And not just the earth.

For me, making art is also about this: caring for an internal space where ideas and emotions move freely, where control gives way to observation, where beauty is born from the relationship with the environment. As in a garden, creativity requires time, attention and respect for the life that springs forth, even if it is not as we had imagined it.
Perhaps human quality begins right here: in this ability to give space to what is alive, to change, to uncertainty. To love without possessing. To create without dominating.
