Green forests, endless fields, fast rivers, rocks - all this seems to us to be commonplace. There is a lot of this on the planet, and each of us, living in huge megalopolises, can travel to such places in order to stay at least a couple of days among real nature. But Finnish artist Ilkka Halso warns us that in the future, perhaps all of these taken for granted landscapes will become a museum rarity.
Ilkka Halso urges and teaches us now to treat nature as the greatest value on Earth. In his works, he claims that every tree, every bush, every flower, pebble, trickle is a museum exhibit. Indeed, if you treat them differently, in the future they will indeed become such.
Ilkki's first works on this topic appeared in 2000. Then he himself built several structures in nature, protecting natural objects from nature. But this practice took a lot of time and money. And therefore the artist began to travel to nature only to photograph natural objects, and the rest can already be added with the help of computer technology.
In the works of Ilkka Halso, we can see trees fenced in nets or scaffolding, a waterfall around which a whole theater is built, a coniferous grove enclosed in a glass pavilion, a huge forest with rocks and a river covered with a glass roof, roller coasters going through an amusement park "Nature" and much, much more.
All these photographs are united by a single theme of love for nature and concern about the future of this very nature. After all, there is a great risk that our descendants will live in the world predicted by Ilkka Halso, where the world's leading museums will fight for the right to own a living tree.

Nature Preserve: a series of exclusive jewelery gifts from nature itself
Nature is not only the most talented artist, designer and sculptor, but also the best ideological inspiration for a creative person.

Israeli designer Gur Kimel is familiar with such a muse. After all, it was she who gave him inspiration to develop an amazing collection of natural jewelry Nature Preserve, where everyone is
