Nepomuceno concibe una instalación medioambiental que se asemeja a un jardín lleno de formas botánicas y cerámicas. El jardín, un tema recurrente en la cultura occidental, ha sido impregnado de diversos significados estéticos y simbólicos a lo largo de diferentes épocas y contextos. Refleja el deseo de armonizar el intelecto y la pasión dentro de la humanidad, así como la relación entre las personas y el mundo natural.
