“So many points of view, so many perceptions. At first monolithic in appearance, the monument, as soon as one turns around, reveals regular indentations, then, continuing the round, open windows thus giving reality to the spaces that fit between the shapes. The whole is made up of multiple vertical parallelepipeds, portions of discs and rings placed in orthogonal planes. Nothing else. No angles, no bevels. Everything is in the composition that imprints strength and stability on the verticals, grace and lightness on the curves to the point of suggesting, at such a moment, petals opening.The magic of geometry once again manifested itself through ‘a refined and constructed volume while seeming inhabited in its heart of something alive. “
