The right balance
How can we control our desires? How can we choose the right path whilst avoiding sin? How can we protect ourselves against temptation? Here, the garden leads to question the definition of the seven deadly sins and the way in which we shall finally be drawn to choosing sin or virtue, good or evil.
At the entrance to the garden, we have two ways of going through it. We can take the walkway and go to the end to look upon the sculpture that depicts the fragile balance between the various choices, then return by passing in turn through the black scales that enable us to experience that fragile balance in the middle of coloured planted areas.
We can also go to the right or to the left of the walkway and nimbly pass through those same scales to end at the foot of the sculpture and return quietly along the path of grey wood.
