Jean-Michel Crapanzano

"The Gardens of Eden" is my new art project inspired by my graphic novel of the same name. This project combines the power of visual storytelling with the principles of ecosystems and permaculture to explore the delicate balance between humanity, nature, and technology.
Through its graphic novel, digital drawings, public installations, workshops, and citizen participation, this project aims to raise awareness about the importance of sustainable living and the potential dangers of unchecked technological advancement.
