Modern world’s reality (nature in Utrecht)

Modern world’s reality

In the modern world, we demonstrate life's events everywhere and at any time. Sharing is caring, they say, and there is no need to say that twice. With firm conviction, we diligently reflect everything to the last little detail as long as it only meets our expectations.

The shiny light of filters and angles represents our world. They make it brighter, us younger, or more relevant in the first place. Too often, the best is just good enough. And as this game is for multiplayer, we look closely at what the others are doing.

With insatiable greed, we steadily long for more. More prestige and evidence of the “amazing life.” While we still try to distinguish ourselves, we already forget why we started to play along in the first place. This life of abundance has become an expression of new dignity.

Thus, we observe our environment through filters and displays: A carefully curated exhibition. It convinces us with impressive artworks that reflect a world as we would like it to be. However, there are no winners in this polished cosmos of competition because “enough” does not exist in it.

Throughout the time we spend so much enthusiasm to meet our demands, the experience itself has already passed. Hence, we abandoned the moment's joy because we were too busy reproducing it instead of being present.

Nature in Utrecht

Utrecht is a city where nature and urban life coexist harmoniously. From the beautiful parks and gardens to the stunning canals and rivers, there is no shortage of natural beauty to explore. Not only does nature provide us with a sense of peace and tranquility, but it also plays a crucial role in our physical and mental well-being. So, if you're looking for a city that perfectly balances urban life and nature, Utrecht is the place to be. Don't miss out on the opportunity to experience the beauty of nature in this vibrant city.
