The pyramids repeated the shapes of the nearby mountains.
These same civilizations forged their identity in stone, with sculptures, stelae, columns and pyramids among others.
The collection explores the handcrafted and symbolic elements of stone.
The relationship with clay, fire, water and air to create a cycle within a piece that houses these elements and creates a micro spring.
