The backside of the tent which has been cut away reveals an odd interior fabricated with camouflage nylon. The interior resembles a restricted hollow found between bushes.
The project explores the subtle unspoken culture conceptions of camping and wilderness, examining the perceptions of where nature is found and where nature is deemed authentic.
