Outline

The word “paradise” originates from a Persian word meaning a wal led enclosure. Fragments of various plants are clipped off by the rectangular frame of a photograph. These plant fragments are torsos that serve as a means of spur r ing the imaginat ion through photographs; the lines formed by the torso fragments are used to create an invisible enclosure.
