[Eden] is a piece that speaks about the blurring of boundaries between our worlds as virtual spaces are now becoming an increasingly attractive and viable alternative manifest of reality. With the advent of Web3 and the rapid rise in technological advancements, more and more people are taking up virtual personas - extensions of oneself in the digital space.
The alternate reality, or so-called irreality, provides an ideal scenario and a desired aesthetic of oneself. The convergence of elements familiar and unfamiliar juxtaposes itself in otherworldly worlds, and in its midst emerges a form of beauty that is intoxicatingly attractive and aesthetically-pleasing.
It becomes a new paradigm of society's ideals; it becomes the new [Eden].
