Create a contrast between inflexibility -organicism and inert-natural materials.
I work at the corner because I liked to emphasize its condition -it represents the Cartesian coordinates X, Y, Z-  and show up or emerge from there an element with natural materials and organic composition. To highlight that from this inert place, from these corners, an abstract natural element can originate.

Compose and create with arundo donax a volume, a small scenography.

Place there a structure similar to the tropical tree roots or like the riverbed. Assemble this structure with individual and linear arundo donax elements to investigate the possibilities of its smell, texture, and plasticity to use them to attenuate the inflexibility and curve the edges.

It will help to generate an atmosphere where every individual can observe the contrast between these two worlds.

Place seats to observe it and dedicate time to self-reflection. A gathering through landscape interpretation.
