Man-made Versus Natural

In The Witness, there are many manifestations of an opposition between man-made and natural elements.

Marsh
The marsh is a natural biotope, but we can see that it has been converted to suit human needs: underwater walls have been built to separate the different pools, platforms have been installed so that people can walk on them, 4 underwater rooms and two aerial structures have been added. The area seem to be used to produce something or for scientific experiments, and is therefore controlled by humans. Up to the laser box that is placed in a dead tree stump.

On the other hand, there is a whole section on the side of the Treehouse (made accessible by the first shortcut door), which does not contain a single man-made element at all. The Marsh area then offers two subareas that contrast strongly: a man-controlled one, and a nature-controlled one.
