Stranded on this remote island, a poor and arid landscape welcomes me. Hungry, and thirsty, I do not take much time to dwell on this deserted beach. My eyes are quickly caught by the vegetation that I can spot through braided walls in front of me. My path leads to the heart of this unknown island.

 

Crossing the first panel, I discover vegetation which is sweet and alluring with pink flowers with soft and rounded shapes. I am seduced and quietly reassured. I continue my way to a second wall.

 

Beyond this, I find myself confronted with aggressive, thorny plants with dark foliage. As an obstacle to overcome, a warning perhaps, that place fills me with doubt about the path. Curiosity and strength eventually prevail and keep me moving on.

​

Now it is a wild garden lulled by the fog that I discover, full of flavours and varied aromas. The mixture of scents and colourful fruits hypnotize me and I hesitate to stay in this place. However, I see through the last braided panel a profusion of colours and I perceive the singing sound of running water. Irresistibly captivated by long creepers producing unusual fruits, I move forward. The shore is now a distant memory. A last step and I am fully caught by the thick vegetation.

 

And suddenly I am in the middle of this explosion of colours, scents and surprises. Such as an insect in the midst of gigantic blossoms, emotion overcomes me and I feel I have reached paradise. I notice that climbers weave around me like a net, but this thought disappears instantly. The protective atmosphere invites me to relax and contemplate infinitely this joyful and generous nature that provides me these delicious fruits. As a haven of peace, surrounded by beneficial nature, I am protected ... or imprisoned in space-time, on the island of the Lotus Eaters. I forget everyting and stay here forever!"
