In full blossom

In the middle of the Alpine countryside right next to the hiking trail, a meadow of flowers unfurls like a cloud and welcomes hikers as they trek through the countryside.

Artificial plastic flowers protrude sterilely from the ground, without fragrance and eternally in bloom.

A reflection of our society and its claim to be able to consume everything whenever it wants in full blossom.
