The concept
Swamp synthesis is the contemporary swamp, a changing water landscape in terms of biodiversity. It is the representation of our society in which change is the only permanent thing and where uncertainty is the only certainty. The scene transforms during the day, when the light changes, creating a new landscape among the blue vegetation and the fluorescence of the waters.
