Similar to a cocoon, this construction in a semi-dome shape has an architectural touch and is a metaphor for protection and cage at the same time. It is a reflection about relativity and complexity of every day concepts, about the need for love and gentleness, though it does not pretend to ignore the dark side of the moon. Thé red nucleus in the very center of the work becomes a dynamic and coagulating element, an optimistic seed inside what can be considered as a cage as well as a nest.
