´Based on the Tøyen Botanical Gardens placed behind  the wall. This place contains flora from all over the world, from different regions and weathers, adapted to survive in the Garden. Next to the wall is Nelu, a 54 year old Romanian refugee. He stands every day at the entrance of Tøyen Metro Station. We both spent 10 hours per day in that space, more than in our homes. Same conditions as those immigrant plants.`
