A modest river stream slits through a rough landscape of severity. Time and climate, the ultimate crafters. Large sawn-cut stone blocks from the local granite arise from this austerity, sheltering a small place of reconcile with Nature. The idea of a unique, yet fragmentable space. "Man is condemned to find forms that harmonize and conform to Nature, completing it. Yes, Nature exists, reigns, and it always triumphs – but subjugated to our disruptions”, Umberto Eco said. Excavated between the harshly rocky cliffs, a fraction of life becomes perennial – (un)endingly petrified.
