Its monolithic appearance suggests multiple influences, from primitive structures to futuristic objects , without pointing to a specific origin. The result is deliberately open to interpretation.
The work fits within an aesthetic, often linked to modern esoteric spirituality, draws from a worldview in which past and future blur together in a strange fusion of mystical belief systems and pseudo-scientific narratives.
Located along a public greenway, the realization of the project required close collaboration with an architect and a structural engineering firm to meet safety and public space constraints, as well as the expertise of a local mason for its construction.
