Aristotle stated that the matter of the world consists of four elements - fire, wind, water and earth - and further proposed a fifth element, the luminous atmosphere "ether", which fills the sky. The "ether" is the atmosphere that makes the life of the plants in the greenhouse shine, and these are portraits of the plants in the greenhouse. This series of “ether” is expressed through Lith print. Imagine the glowing atmosphere of the “ether”, which does not exist in reality, in the deep shades of the Lith print.
