The Style Collective is excited to share with you this semi exclusive editorial of Paul De Luna's beautiful story Back to Eden shot for West East magazine. Yet these aren't just pretty images. As explained by Paul:
For ‘Back to Eden’ we hypothesized a post-post apocalyptic world where all links to previous civilizations have been eradicated including language, means of production, architectural structures, historical records or even a linguistic way to understand those very few remnants that do persist. Nature has reclaimed the planet and the clock of humanity is reset to zero. Our characters are virgin aliens on their own world, able to understand that previous humans inhabited a planet similar to theirs (albeit with massive geometric mountains and strange, shiny and now extinct giant animals) yet lacking any cultural context, are unable to comprehend the exact chronology or lineage of their common ancestry.

this world described by means the eradication of racism, inequality and prejudices. It is certainly a nice reference to an imperfect utopia
