'At the gates of the transparent garden' is an attempt to push concepts such as compassion and responsibility to their limit. To look in the face of evil, to support and even feast on the image of the incapable god, is the observer - deprived of the ability to act, a mute god. This figure of God comes both from the concept of reductionism in Lurianic Kabbalah and later was formulated in a fantastic way by the philosopher Hans Jonas. Another subject that rooted in the base of this reseach is betrayal and sin as acts that actually promotes redemption and light. Beautiful expressions of this idea can be seen in the writings of Borges and Walter Benjamin and even Kafka. The image of the one who subverts himself, who breaks through the temporary values ​​in order to evoke the absolute.
