The Picto-Poem tapestry, the central element of the possible habitat, was made using the Haute-lisse technique, with three types of fibre: 24/2 fine wool, silk, cotton, the warp is Karnac-type cotton, and the manner of weaving has the utmost complexity, with the hues and connections per threat exceeding the usual number and technique.
The cardboard is wholly covered in drawings made with coloured pencils. The graphic style, the naivety of the drawing, and the expressiveness of the modulated lines provided the basis to escape from the type of decorative expression specific to tapestry. There is a coherence and a correlation between the symbolic message of the text and the elements that make up the Adamic garden (the state of innocence and purity, the declaration of love, and the presence of the couple as a whole, whereby the axis of time becomes both a foundation and a road).
