Perfectly manicured bushes, hedges and trees that stand vigilantly in front of our homes. More than mere decorations, they are subtle symbols of safety and order, a superficial shield against the world's unpredictability. Each precisely trimmed leaf reflects a desire for control, a serene façade masking the complexities of life. These green sentinels embody the delicate balance between appearance and reality, reminding us of the quiet resilience in our everyday surroundings.
