"The object intended to be installed indoor, conceives for the viewer an image that is connected with the outdoor world: that of nature, of plants. The title hints at the iconographic meaning that, in the beginning of modern painting, lets the window appear at the borderline of 'inside' and 'outside', of 'nature' and 'artifice'. In this sense, the edition alludes to change in the experience of nature: as a constructed one 'nature' can be generated according to needs in whatever space; a construction that the user of the edition can duplicate by technically assembling it 'en miniature'."
