«Es como es. Como debe ser. Te basta con esto. Es un terreno perenne ¿se puede buscar otro? Pasas por encima de estas cosas y las circundas y las vives, como el aire, como una orla de nubes. Nadie sabe que todo está acá.»

Cesare Pavese

The images in the Edén series arise of themselves, just as it was for the ideas Bernardita MORELLO had of her life before it began to fall apart. The series is the result of an internal struggle between reality and illusion. For Bernadita Morello, photography is a way of accepting the world as it is, leaving behind her desire for a lost paradise.
