In the iconographic canon, such an image of a garden refers to the plot from the New Testament about the pious robber Rakha. The robber is revered as an example of true repentance and is considered the first saved person. Having already been crucified, Rakha believed in Christ, having received a promise to stay in paradise. Here, the garden is an environment awaiting the hero.

The project was presented as part of the exhibition "Nature of the Future" in the Cultural Center "Solodovnya".
